Build Back Better Act
The Build Back Better Act contains substantial investments in early childhood education, higher education school nutrition, and educator preparation systems, the entirety of which represent a step in the right direction towards improving the quality of education for all students in this country. The Education Trust supports these investments, and we urge Congress to pass the reconciliation bill.
Investments in this bill will ensure millions of children, students and families get the opportunities and supports they need to emerge from the pandemic stronger than before.
