🚨Attention School Board Members!!
By April 24th, the U.S. Department of Education (DoE) is requiring all school districts to submit a signed certification affirming compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws under Executive Order 14190.
This certification must be submitted to your state department of education, which is then expected to compile and forward these documents to the DoE.
Many State Superintendent have made it clear that they will not encourage school districts to pursue certification. Additionally, they will not compile or submit the required information to the Department of Education.
As a result, how much will local taxes increase to compensate for the loss of funding for Title I funding, school lunches and other vital programs?
This situation places the responsibility squarely on individual districts to act quickly and independently in order to meet federal requirements.
Delaying action may result in serious consequences, including loss of federal funding. Please review the attached certification form and present it urgently to your school board. Time is of the essence.
Moms for Liberty-Wisconsin Ambassador Scarlett Johnson has been provided a suggestion: Ensure your district meets this federal requirement by 📅April 24th to prevent funding disruption and show your commitment to maintaining anti-discrimination protections. File the required forms for your school district, signed by your district superintendent, and then send them to the Dept. of Education by 📨certified mail to:
