Last month, President Anna King and Executive Director Nathan R. Monell submitted a letter to education committees in Congress urging robust funding for school infrastructure in the reconciliation bill. The House Education and Labor Committee finished marking up its portion of the bill Sept. 10, investing:

• $82 billion in Public School Infrastructure

• $35 billion in Child Hunger Prevention Programs
• $450 billion to promote Affordable Child Care

PTA members advocating for these issues helped advance this legislation.  The reconciliation bill still needs to clear hurdles in both the House and Senate, and National PTA will continue to give updates as they become available. To be the first to know, sign up to receive action alerts!
