The Keep Our PACT Act seeks to fulfill our nation's commitment to fully fund key education programs that support underserved students and those with disabilities. Part A of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act helps address inequities in education for school districts across the country, while the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act guarantees a quality education for children with disabilities. This bill proposes gradually increasing funding over the next decade until reaching the authorized levels, providing $54.3 billion for Title I and 40% of the national average per-pupil expenditure for students with disabilities by 2035. Fully funding these essential programs is crucial to ensuring all children have access to high-quality education and can reach their full potential. I urge your support for this legislation to keep our promise to America's children and teachers.
