Hello, this is very exciting and I would love to have a question asked regarding Head Start. There has been talk about increasing funding for salaries so that we can remain competitive with the local school districts. As you ay know, we invest a lot into training for the teachers. Then, they leave our program to work in the school districts for thousands more. Can you tell us if there are plans in place for additional funding?
How can we work with you to make sure that the Department of Education prioritizes instituting policies that demonstrate an asset-based approach to multilingualism, honoring and uplifting bilingual students and language learners as well as empowering all students to aim for multilingualism?
I am writing you as a California Retired Teacher concerning the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset. (GPO). It is my understanding that if my husband dies before me, I will get very little or none of his social security. This is unfair to many public employees in 15 states. I worked 40 years while raising a family and putting my husband through college so he could learn a living. Now we are both retired and he is a 5 year cancer survivor. WEP and GPO are very unfair and need to be repealed. Rodney Davis introduced H.R 82 to do this and I ask for your support and that you encourage both Republicans and Democrats to support this bill. Also, there is no place to email you on topics not listed on the Secretary of Education site. Do you have an email you recommend?
