❌The only federal protection for students experiencing homelessness is on the chopping block. The FY2026 budget would replace #EHCY with a block grant, leaving homeless students in 47 states without guaranteed support. More from @SchoolHouseConn:

Our founders fought for freedom—the promise that everyone would have the power to shape their future. That promise remains out of reach for too many. But it's worth fighting for. As we look to #July4th we recommit to building a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Federal funding for students experiencing homelessness is at risk. Amidst the uncertainty, local policymakers can take action to support these students. More from our partners @bellwetherorg:

The Education Choice for Children Act would hurt rural students most. Redirecting funds away from rural schools—where private options are scarce—doesn’t expand opportunity. Investing in public education does. #ECCA #PublicEducation #EdPower
