Education Reform Now

There are many issues in the House Committee Republicans' proposed FY 24 budget bill, but taken as a whole, the drafted plan seems like an outright attack on education.

With that said, here are DFER's top 10 reasons the House Republicans' FY 24 spending bill is a total dumpster fire. Click the link in the bio to read DFER’s full statement.

After a long search, we are proud to announce that former Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza has been appointed as DFER's new Chief Executive Officer! Elorza undertook bold actions to advance a social and racial justice agenda:
✅ Invested $400 million into repairing school buildings.
✅ Supported the expansion of high-quality public charter schools.
✅ Created the city’s Eat, Play, Learn Initiative to expand out-of-school enrichment.
✅ Launched a nationally recognized African American Ambassador Group to bring Black leaders into the center of policymaking.

We are excited to announce the newest member of the DFER family, Hans Goff, Vice President of Advocacy & Government Affairs. 👏👏 Goff will serve to promote federal legislation & executive action that progresses a high-quality public education for all students.

This we're giving thanks to educators who tirelessly work day in and out to serve students, the leaders pushing for national change, and all the advocates committed to creating a high-quality public ed system for students.

Without you, we couldn't do the work we do for all students. 💙
