Congress has already allocated more funding this year to community schools, minority serving institutions, historically Black colleges and universities, and teacher preparation and residency programs, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, said during the virtual House Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies subcommittee hearing on teacher shortages.
“We have an opportunity to make the investments at this time in areas that have really been either flat-funded or underfunded for years,” DeLauro said. “I feel good … that we are on track. I want us to be able to do more.”
