Prevents cuts to public school funding for students with disabilities and low-income areas through 2027.

This bill would protect money for key public school programs that help students with disabilities, those in low-income areas, and English learners. It would ensure funding for these programs stays at 2024 levels for the government's budget years 2025, 2026, and 2027, stopping possible cuts.

What Would Change

Currently, funding for education programs is decided each year and can go up or down. There is no automatic way to stop cuts to specific important education programs. If this bill becomes law, for the government's budget years 2025, 2026, and 2027, any cuts to key education programs below their 2024 funding levels would be automatically replaced with money from the Treasury.

Key Provisions

Ensures that funding for key education programs would not fall below 2024 levels for the government's budget years 2025, 2026, and 2027.
Provides extra money from the Treasury to cover any funding cuts to these programs, taking effect 30 days after the yearly budget is passed.
Defines 'critical education programs' to include support for students with disabilities, students in low-income areas, English learners, and homeless students.
Sets a clear way to calculate what counts as a 'reduction in funding' by comparing future budgets to 2024 funding levels.
Blocks this additional spending from counting against certain federal budget rules, like the 'Pay-As-You-Go' requirements.
