“Under IDEA, the federal government committed to pay 40 percent of the average per pupil expenditure for special education. However, that pledge has never been met, and current funding is right around 10 percent. The IDEA Full Funding Act provides for regular, mandatory increases in IDEA spending to finally meet the obligation to America’s children and schools. Eight other Representatives signed on as original cosponsors: Reps. Neguse, Fitzpatrick, Criag, Stauber, Bynum, Bacon, Swalwell and Bost.”
