The right to a free and appropriate public education doesn't end when a child is found delinquent- especially in relation to kids with an IEP or 504 plan. #CAREPackage

On the eve of our 60th, we joined Children First, Congressman Dwight Evans, Congresswoman Madeleine Dean & PA parents to show the life‐changing power of Head Start. As Congress reviews Trump’s FY26 budget, remember: "Head Start is not a line item—it’s a lifeline." #InvestInHeadStart nhsa.org/take-action/
