The Trump administration is refusing to distribute more than $5 billion in federal K-12 funding for the upcoming school year that Congress already appropriated. This @AASAHQ resource shows some of the expected impact of this disastrous maneuver aasa.org/docs/default-s…

$6.88 billion in funding for K-12 schools is being withheld for 2025-26 school year that Congress already approved. Can you join us in sending a message? #principalsadvocate p2a.co/wONxXxZ

We caught up with Dr. Kacy Seals Shahid at the PRN meeting to talk about resilience after leading @CentralVPAHS through unthinkable trauma. Her leadership is heart work—driven by compassion, healing, and the strength of her students. #PrincipalsAdvocate

Thank you to @SenSanders @maziehirono @RepLucyMcBath @RepLloydDoggett for joining this AASA press conference advocating against the scheme to squeeze a national private school voucher program into the Republican megabill. Americans DO NOT want #publicschools defunded.

.@NASSP is proud to join @AASAHQ @RepLloydDoggett @RepLucyMcBath @SenSanders and many national #publicschool organizations and advocates on Capitol Hill to OPPOSE the national school voucher plan in Republican megabill. Public funds should fund public schools, period.

The House is marking up the massive budget reconciliation bill today, and they are considering adding a new $20 billion private school voucher program in the legislation. We should NOT be mandating that states divert public funding towards vouchers static1.squarespace.com/static/582f7c1…

Irresponsible policy based solely on politics. The federal government made a commitment, and now they pull the rug out just to send a message. Schools and students are apparently just acceptable collateral damage. edweek.org/policy-politic…

GWaples's tweet card. The federal government has rescinded deadline extensions for a majority of states to spend remaining pandemic aid.

Our friends at @educationweek shared a recap of how principals took to Capitol Hill to advocate for the funding their schools and students need. From Title I to special education, they made their voices heard loud and clear. edweek.org/leadership/pri… #PrincipalsAdvocate

I'm constantly inspired by how hard principals work. In addition to their demanding jobs, many take the time to advocate for public education and make sure lawmakers know how the decisions they make will affect students and educators. #PrincipalsAdvocate edweek.org/leadership/pri…

GWaples's tweet card. On Capitol Hill, school leaders advocated to sustain federal funding that helps the most vulnerable students in their schools.

Thank you for joining us, Congresswoman. Your words were inspiring. It was a pleasure working with Annie, Lauren, and the rest of your team, as well! We NEED more educators in elected office - people who understand what schools and students need. #PrincipalsAdvocate 🇺🇸🏫📚🍎
