Rep. Schakowsky with Congressional Artistic Discovery Contest Winner
As a former elementary school teacher, I believe that we need to ensure that all children have fair, equal access to a high-quality public education. The future of our economy and the success of our country depend on a renewed commitment to public education. Policymakers need to work in partnership with teachers, parents, academics, administrators and students to build an adequately funded system to educate all our children. Lifelong education, beginning with 3-and 4-year olds and continuing through vocational training, community college, bachelor degrees and beyond, should be affordable and available for all Americans. I believe we should respect our nation's teachers and provide them with decent wages, benefits and the right to unionize.
Legislation I've Introduced
Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act – This bill would create over two million jobs to jumpstart the economy and focuses on areas our communities need, including schools. It would create 650,000 jobs rebuilding our nation's crumbling schools and 300,000 jobs for teachers.
Mental Health on Campus Improvement Act – The bill would provide grants to higher educational institutions to improve mental health services, including suicide prevention, and outreach on campus.
