The budget Betsy DeVos has been working on slashes funding that supports after-school programs for children from underserved communities, training for teachers and reducing class size. And it would completely eliminate funding for mental health services, anti-bullying initiatives, physical education and more – all while funneling hundreds of millions of dollars out of local public schools and toward charter and private schools.
This budget isn’t about doing what’s best for our kids – it’s about pushing Betsy DeVos’s ideological agenda to undermine strong public schools.
