This reckless action dismantles the federal infrastructure that ensures every child’s right to a free, appropriate public education. It violates the intent of Congress, which created IDEA to guarantee that children with disabilities receive the stability, oversight, and support they deserve — regardless of political winds.

By decimating the Department’s core special education offices, this administration is sending a dangerous message: that children with disabilities are expendable. The result is confusion, chaos, and instability in schools and districts across the country.

📢 Act Now: Tell your members of Congress to pressure the U.S. Department of Education to immediately reinstate IDEA and ESEA staff and restore the systems that protect students with disabilities.

Together, we must defend decades of progress — and make clear that the rights of our children are not optional.
