Sign the petition: Urge Congress to support the Rebuild America’s School Act
U.S. Congress
Despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world, public schools across the U.S. remain underfunded. Teachers across the country report stagnant wages, overcrowded classrooms, and ripped textbooks. Teachers and students deserve better school conditions in order to thrive.
At the beginning of the year, Democratic Virginia Rep. Bobby Scott--Chair of the House Education & Labor Committee--introduced the Rebuild America’s School Act. If passed, the Act would address crumbling school infrastructure in low-income neighborhoods by investing $100 billion in public school infrastructure, with $70 billion for direct grants to building renovations and upgrades and $30 billion going towards tax-credit bonds for schools.
Low-income public school students deserve clean, updated schools -- it is Congress’ duty to ensure they have equal facilities to those of middle and high income public school students.
Sign the petition to urge Congress to pass this important legislation for students across the country.
