Tri-caucus chairs oppose undermining ESSA
The Chairs of the Congressional Tri- Caucus – composed of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus , the Congressional Black Caucus , and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus – have released the following joint statement in opposition to H . J . Res . 57 , which would undermine the Department of Education ’ s authority to implement and enforce key provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act :
“ H . J . Res . 57 , the joint resolution to undermine implementation of the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act , is another step in the Republican attack on public education and enforcement authority of the Department of Education . First , President Trump nominates a champion of privatization who is unfamiliar and unwilling to enforce key civil rights protections for students . Now , Congressional Republicans are ripping apart regulation to guide implementation of the most important equity provisions of our nation ’ s new K-12 law .
“ As leaders of the Congressional Asian Pacific American , Black , and Hispanic Caucuses we fought to couple ESSA ’ s unprecedented state and local flexibility over school accountability and improvement with strong federal protections for our most vulnerable students . Without the stability and clarity provided through regulation , plan development stops , systems halt , and students and teachers lose . While this regulation reflects the consensus of the education and civil rights community , it is within the purview of the new Republican administration to reexamine and amend it as they see fit . However , rather than take this responsible approach to implementing the new law , Republicans have chosen to put politics before students .
“ H . J . Res . 57 would leave key provisions of the law completely unregulated indefinitely , leaving state systems that serve our nation ’ s more than 50 million public school students in limbo and important civil rights obligations unfulfilled . Faithful implementation of ESSA must honor both the bipartisan intent of Congress and the longstanding civil rights legacy of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act . This reckless measure flies in the face of both . For these reasons , we firmly oppose H . J . Res . 57 .”
