“In Minnesota and across the country, schools are closing and distance learning is being implemented. I led an effort with my colleagues Rep. Pete Stauber from Northern Minnesota and Rep. Jared Huffman from California to make sure our schools have the additional IDEA funding to support all their students, including those with special needs during this exceptionally difficult time. I'm proud that the CARES Act includes $30 Billion to support our students and educators--and that $13 Billion of this is available to school districts and schools to make sure that students who have IEPs get high quality education they would in school, in their homes. I urge all of my colleagues to join me in supporting our teachers, paraprofessionals, and school administrators who are working tirelessly to continue to educate all students in our communities through equal access to quality education.”
