Now on the @aasadvocacy.bsky.social blog: A FERPA Update. Worth the read to be up-to-date on the wide reach of the federal privacy statute and how the administration is using it. www.aasa.org/resources/bl...
FERPA Update
In recent weeks, USED has leveraged the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as a policy tool to incentivize state compliance with other administration policy priorities.

Reporting suggests that as many as 41 states and DC stand to lose almost $3bil in funding that was already obligated but not yet liquidated (or reimbursed) as the now-cancelled extensions had allowed final payments to be made through early 2026. On the blog. www.aasa.org/resources/bl...
ESSER Liquidation Update
On 3/28/25, the Department informed SEAs that the Administration has canceled any prior approval for “late liquidation” of remaining funds from a variety of federal pandemic recovery funds.

What does IDEA mean for students? ✅ Individualized learning plans ✅ Early intervention ✅ Inclusive classrooms ✅ Protections & advocacy ✅ Pathways to independence #IDEA50
IDEA supports educators, too! The law provides funding for teacher training and professional development, helping schools meet the needs of all learners. #IDEA50 #TeachTheFuture
Special education services rely on IDEA funding—with serious cuts to USED, processing & support from the federal level could slow down, impacting students with disabilities. #IDEA #SpecialEducation
When federal employees are laid off, our schools suffer. From processing funding to providing guidance, the support schools rely on comes to a halt. Our kids deserve stability! #Education #IDEA50
Looking for ways to stay engaged on the important work to fully fund #IDEA, especially this year, when IDEA turns 50? Make sure your national organization is part of our IDEA Full Funding Coalition (check out our website: ideafullfunding.org)

IDEA isn't just for K-12! It also funds early intervention services for babies and toddlers, giving kids a strong start from birth to age 3. #IDEA50 #EarlyIntervention
Since IDEA passed, graduation rates for students with disabilities have more than doubled! Education transforms lives—and IDEA makes it possible. #IDEA50 #SuccessStory
Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work. Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.
Hey #NCE2025! Looking for ways to celebrate #IDEA turning 50 and highlight the need to #FullyFundIDEA? We have a social media campaign! Join us all of March in our work to post daily to advance this important work. Deets on the @aasadvocacy.bsky.social blog: www.aasa.org/resources/bl...

Did you know? Before IDEA, 1 million students with disabilities were entirely excluded from public schools. Today, 7.5 million students benefit from its protections! #IDEA50 #Inclusion #NCE2025
50 years of IDEA! Since 1975, nearly 90% of children with disabilities now attend neighborhood schools—learning alongside their peers. #IDEA50 #InclusionMatters #NCE2025
