P4P Brief: Stand up for the Department of Education...NOW

I don't have a podcast episode to release this week, so it's a good time to talk about the DOE.

I wanted to give you a quick brief on where we are with the Department of Education and what you can do about it. Trump is expected to issue an Executive Order directing Linda McMahon to begin the process to shut down the DOE. This can’t be done without an act of Congress, but as you know there is a bill that’s been introduced. This brief talks about what’s happening, what it means to you, and how you can push back. I also talk about a really REALLY important program called McKinney-Vento that serves homeless students, and how you can help advocacy efforts for that program.
