House panel approves cuts to Title I, Education Department funding

On Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee (HAC) advanced a bill that would reduce federal Title I funding for low-income schools by 26%. The plan, which would also cut the overall U.S. Department of Education budget by 15% to $67bn for fiscal year 2026, differs from the bipartisan proposal agreed to by the Senate Appropriations Committee in July, which recommends increasing funding for the department by around $300m. An HAC report on the bill cites disappointing student test scores, despite increases in funding, arguing that "Federal tax dollars have not been shown to result in meaningful improvement in student achievement." Attempts to prevent cuts to Title I were unsuccessful; ranking Democrat Rosa DeLauro (D-CN) said the cuts will remove at least 72,000 teachers out of classrooms in low-income communities. A measure to block funding for mandatory active shooter drills unless parents are given an opt-out for students under 16 was agreed to by voice vote.
