K-12 Education

Committee Democrats are committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of where they live, have access to a high-quality public education that allows them to achieve their full potential.

More than 65 years after the Supreme Court's historic decision in Brown v. Board of Education, we must maintain focus on educational equity and ensure that states and school districts act responsibly. This includes advancing solutions to decrease racial and socioeconomic gaps in education, supporting students with disabilities, meeting the needs of educators and parents, improving learning conditions to ensure health, safety, and success.
