Bill overview
This bill, titled the Keep Our Promise to America’s Children and Teachers Act, aims to fully fund two key federal education programs: Part A of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (focused on equity in education) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (which guarantees special education services). It does this by providing increased appropriations over the next ten years, starting with the 2022 fiscal year, to ensure these programs receive the funding they need to support students and children with disabilities. The bill seeks to address funding inequities exacerbated by the pandemic and uphold existing legal commitments.
