	"description": "Now is the time for the federal government to fulfill the promise made in 1975 to America’s students with disabilities to fund IDEA at 40% and to provide a free and appropriate education and evaluation of unique learning needs for all children with disabilities. The failure of the federal government to keep the promise of funding IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) at 40% means school districts across the country must battle each year for the meager federal funds which has pitted special education and general education against each other, when in fact all students benefit from a fully funded IDEA program. We also know that both the short-term needs of our children as we return to schools after a devastating pandemic, as well as the sustained, permanent funding of IDEA, must be met. Our communities must be properly funded as we continue to recover from this pandemic that hastaken a toll on all our students, but especially our students of color and students in poverty. That is why on on March 23rd, 2021, we filed a “class petition for guidance documents”  calling on the Federal Government to fulfill its promises to our students. The Federal Government has until June 21, 2021 to respond. OUR DEMAND We call on President Biden, Secretary Cardona, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and U.S. Congressional Committee on Education and Labor to fulfill the promise made in 1975 to America&#x27;s students to fund IDEA at 40% and to provide a free and appropriate education and evaluation of unique learning needs for all children with disabilities. WHO WE ARE We are a growing diverse coalition of parents of students with disabilities, disability rights organizations, educator unions, community organizations, and representatives from our respective communities across the US. We are putting the Federal Government on notice through a “class petition for guidance documents” to fulfill their promises to our students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. We are committed to fighting for the necessary resources for our most vulnerable students during this pandemic and as we work towards a new normal where the federal government finally fulfills its promises to all of our students, schools, and communities. Thank you.",
