What the Senate HELP Committee's Latest Votes Mean for Education

The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee recently took bipartisan action on two major education priorities: protecting key functions of the U.S. Department of Education and advancing the bipartisan READ Act to strengthen literacy instruction. In this episode of the All4Ed Flash, we explain the legislation that would prevent the transfer of several Department of Education offices to other federal agencies, why education advocates are concerned about recent interagency transfers, and what the latest data says about student reading achievement. We also highlight All4Ed CEO Dr. Amy Loyd's response and explore why protecting educational opportunities and improving literacy remain critical to student success.
