Nearly 1.4 million students experience homelessness every year. Many are invisible in school data, making it harder to get them the support they need. @ctschoolsucla's new brief shows who’s most impacted—and what leaders can do: #StudentHomelessness.

❌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.

Congress is trying to pass a budget bill before July 4th that includes a national school voucher program. This proposal would drain critical funding from the public schools families rely on every day. Here's what else you need to know👇.#budget #vouchers.

Thanks to groups like Treehouse, more youth in WA foster care are graduating from high school than a decade ago. But new state budget cuts threaten this progress. Investing foster youth’s education is key to preventing youth homelessness.

It's simple: Public funds should support public schools. We need to invest in the public schools our communities rely on to make sure every kid has the education they need to thrive. #Education #vouchers.

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
