What Do We Do Now? Money Matters More Than Ever So States Can Make the Grade!

Join ELC for the Second of Three Not-to-be-Missed Webinars About the Future of Public Education During Trump 2.0: What Do We Do Now? Money Matters More Than Ever So States Can Make the Grade!

Education Law Center – which has worked to support public education in states across the country for over 50 years using litigation, research, advocacy, strategic partnerships and communications – invites you to the second of three crucial webinars providing the information you need to defend public education during Trump 2.0:

  • What Do We Do Now? Money Matters More Than Ever So States Can Make the Grade!

When: Monday, December 16, 4-5 p.m. ET

Who: Dr. Danielle Farrie, ELC Research Director, author of Making the Grade; Wendy Lecker, Esq., Senior Attorney, School Finance and Resource Equity; Robert Kim, Esq., ELC Executive Director.

What: Donald Trump and Project 2025 want to dramatically reduce the role of the federal government in public elementary and secondary education. Though states are responsible for the vast majority of public school funding, a reduction and/or loosening of oversight of the billions of dollars that the federal government sends to states each year will have dramatic implications, especially for the nation’s most vulnerable students.

These threats make it more important than ever that states have adequate and equitable school funding systems that support all students. Learn how states are performing on ELC’s Making the Grade 2024, our annual report on the condition of school finance across the country; get an update on the state school finance litigation across the country; and learn how to push back against harmful federal and state proposals that would undermine advocates’ progress in reducing disparities and improving educational opportunities.
