the department of education's primary responsibility is to help schools educate our students and prepare them to be successful in life. a good education can open doors of opportunity for children who may not have thought that their dreams were possible, and a good education can lift millions of families out of poverty and into the middle class. that's certainly what a good education did for me and for my family. so as many working families are struggling today, we should be working to make sure every child can attend a good public school in their own neighborhood. we need to do more to ensure every student who wants to attend college can afford it, graduate, and find a good-paying job and isotaddled with a mountain o debt. and it's absolutely critical that every student, no matter whatagers is learning in a safe environment -- what age, is learning in a safe environment, free from discrimination, harassment, and violence. this should be at the core of our nation, that everyone has the trite a high-quality education no matter where they live or how they learn or how much money their paren

thever beyond that, department of education has not believe in anything substantive as of yet. they have some possibility and flexibility within the department's funding in order to promote more experience on research or experimental programs begun a local levels. but as of right now nothing large or systemic. even in the omnibus bill that came out, the bill only gave $58 million for charter schools. $250 million effort on a private school program never materialized. what this is indicate about congress? guest: i think what this indicates is they are being resistant to fully define secretary devos' rhetoric on that. guest: i think there are a couple of things here. one is the administration proposed cutting education spending. a republican congress rejected the cuts and substantially increase it by nearly $4 billion. none of it was for proposed choice programs outside of charter schooling. partly this speaks to how frustrated i think capitol hill is with the trump administration at this point. that is somests confusion about how republicans tend to feel about school choice. a lo

and how can we strengthen title 9 with the increase to text from our new department of education, if we can call it that. to answer some of these questions, please help me welcome our next moderator and our panel to the stage. thank you all for being here. [ applause ] he he's. >> hi everyone, thank you for joining us at panel three, strengthening protections and how to keep campuses safe. as a campus team -- thank you. as a campus team we work with hundreds of students and campuses across the country to work on feminist issues including title 9, sexual violence and harassment. as a campus organization organizer i work with students on campuses all over the midwest. they're exhausted by the unjust and retrumptizes processes on campus, they're fed up with the starring tactics their administration use. they're fighting back for their aut ton my, and rights. in the "me too" movement weave seen women of all walks of life coming together to talk about workplace harassment and issues facing women. we haven't seen much focus on youth and students who have been leading this cause for decades.

department of education. city of san francisco, when we look at the u.s. department of education, definition, the problem with this is until we have our data systems up and running, it will be another year before we have good data on this, we're forced to pull data together and look ott our point in time count and extrapolate what is going on and the issue is, when they count a family as homeless, if that family is housed during the school year, they don't identify that. and we're working them on a data-sharing agreement to get a better handle. i don't think we have a good handle on it, but i can tell you whereas our percentages look good compared to other communities, i think our point in time said 583 people who are in families who are homeless. the number of families we count as homeless, is much, much higher than. they were talking about close to 2000 students who are experiencing homelessness. which is lower than it was at its peak, but it's still much higher than what it had been for many years that it stuck at 800 and then jumped up very high during

in one of these cases, it involves a multiple -- a multiple of these involves the department of education. one is mitch zias. president trump nominated general zias october 2017, now over six months after his nomination, we still do not have a deputy secretary of the department of education. general zais is qualified for the position. he served as south carolina's elected state superintendent of education, president at newbury colleges a commissioner on south carolina's commission on higher education. he served his country honorably and faithfully in the u.s. army for 31 years, again retiring as a brigadier general. a little known fact about the general, he has diselection, why an issue that affects 20% of our nation's population. he knows the first -- he knows firsthand the struggles of dyslexia and how with the proper evidence-based resources our children with dyslexia can learn to read and have a successful future as any other. now, ensuring children with dyslexia have the resources they have to succeed is a legislative priority for me and also for general zais, as he indicated when he

we'll also vote to confirm president trump's choice to serve as general counsel at the department of education, carlos muniz. this qualified nominee has been waiting for his confirmation vote since october. i would urge everyone to join me in voting to confirm him. we'll also vote to confirm the coast guard authorization act. today, as ever, the united states calls on our coast guard to carry out critical safety and security missions with little room for error. just last year coast guard personnel stopped over $7 billion in illegal drugs and contraband from crossing our borders. they guarded and maintain shipping lanes and they risk their lives to lead heroic rescues after hurricanes half i have and irma. in addition to authorizing funding for the coast guard, this legislation includes a bipartisan measure that is particularly important to states with navigable inland waterways. i'm very proud to have worked with senators wicker, sullivan, and thune to make sure this was included n kentucky, 1,900 miles of navigable waterways are used to ship products. they support 13,000 maritime jobs. and th

don't amount to the amount of students are paying for i was a student to go shoot or was a department of education where we had to debate a lot of these issues with for profit representatives and the reality is that i worked with a lot of students who are friends i was in a position where they can't make those student loan payments and unfortunately it's not because they don't want to their credit scores are going to the plummet but there is they're in a position where they're set up to fail and that is an unfortunate reality that our country is in and again education is a right we spoke about this last time education should be simple and this country is making it nearly impossible for a lot of our folks to be able to access that right to make it even worse so you're in that dire circumstance and then you're given a free quote unquote credit card and people run up all these additional debts because they don't really have many choices you say it is even increasing number of homeless folks let me ask you to weigh the last question is that what it does pay more if you do get the degree you do get hig

president, i rise to speak in op decision to carlos muniz to be counsel at the department of education. mrs. gillibrand: one of the most important responsibilities that the department of education has is to uphold title nine and fight back against gender discrimination in all its forms. this is an enormous responsibility but it is also an urgent one. thousands of men and women have survived sexual assault on college campuses and they are demanding that the education department at their universities take these crimes seriously. but over the last year, we've heard over and over again the secretary -- that secretary devos has let these survivors down. instead of working to uphold and even strengthen title 9, she's used her position to weaken title 89. so we should not be arming her with more staff who are determined to carry out that plan. but that is what mr. muniz would do if confirmed. mr. muniz' combination sends a cynical message to survivors of campus assaults all over our country that the education department is not taking survivors seriously and that they are not interested in pro

there is not, for example, in the department of education which shouldn't even be there because there'sn the constitution that authorizes the federal government to get involved in education, but instead of cutting the budget like the president asked, he wanted to reduce the budget. his suggestion as i remember, was a 10% reduction in the department of education. instead, they increased that budget by 6%. that doesn't make sense. so it's wrong in terms of the size. it's wrong in terms of the power that it gives the federal government and absolutely wrong in the process, or the lack of process as you point out. mark: i mean, we're supposed to be representative republic. the vast majority of our representatives weren't even involved in the process, and the american people have a right to participate, too. you know, there are supposed to be 12 appropriation bills, they have the committees. i would be curious to know what's going on. and so what happens is we, the people, 24 hours before, we can't read 2200 pages either. we get the news reports, things pop up. look at this expenditure and th

of education. one of those things is you think about what was in good guidance from the department of education in 2011 and 2014 which i think we we sent by want to reiterate was actually reiterating guidance sometimes like 2001 and volunteer resolution agreements from 1995. 1995. so these are really tried into aspects of what it looks like for title ix to be fully implemented in schools. but we do have a bill called the protection act that is out there and lifts up several provisions that were part of the good guidance documents and we put them into law. even if that particular bill doesn't move forward that's a place to look for this salient elements of those documents before. many of us have worked on what a good campus climate survey requirement would look like, and i think in particular the campus a candidate and security act, safety act, , is a place with se good ideas around a climate survey. that's an opportunity for school to look at prevalence, to look and response, to understand their students experiences, to resource of them appropriately and for us to get a better sense over all acros

the legislation would require the department of education to establish programs to help prevent and identify bullying. right now schools only have measures to deal with bullying after it happens. the legislation calls for developing online training to help teacher prevent bullying in the classrooms and spot it when it is happening. >> the survey says muslim students, more than half, have experienced bullying, girls with hi jabs on their -- hijabs on their heads, elderly and immigrant students. >> the state loses $267 million every year due to bullying related absences. the bill passed the assembly education committee. now it goes to another committee to be reviewed. >>> the ferry ride across san francisco bay is getting a little cleaner environmentally speaking. the san francisco department of the environment announced yesterday bay ferrys will be switching to renewable diesel from traditional diesel. renewable fuel is made from a biofuel made from waste, not fuel pushed out of the ground. supporters say switching to renewable diesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% or more. >>> th

i spoke to the mayor's office earlier today, he's falling in line with the department of education, sayingoing to be marked as absent. he appreciates you coming out to protest, but he wants to see you having a full day of school today. >> that's great, but that's not going to help us. many like before us, people who protested for stuff they strongly believe, they were out here, they did what they had to do in order to get their movement and voice heard. as a mayor, he should have been out here fighting with us alongside us. >> the fight continues. thank you, crystal, thank you, drew, thank you, both. just want to point out that, you know, i heard my colleague ryan mention that some of these organizers have been coming out here registering, trying to get some of these young folks out here to vote. that's exactly what we have seen out here, exactly, earlier today. they have been registering, getting folks out here to vote. this is a movement they do not want to see stopped. >> all right, jason, thank you so much. we're going to continue following this. 2500 schools around the country taking

but the department of education insists that local authorities now have more money for every pupil, inspondent marc ashdown reports. britain's largest teaching union is warning that a growing like all schools, here in south gloucestershire, the aim is to offer every child a place in the classroom alongside their peers. but the reality is a growing number of the most vulnerable pupils seem to be disappearing from the system. government figures obtained by the national education union show that in 2016, 1700 children in england with special educational needs or a disability didn't have a school place. but, last year, that figure more than doubled. more than 4000 send children are now without a place. can you imagine the torment that a parent goes through, a parent of a child with special needs, where we aren't educating them at all? those increases in numbers are something the government needs to look at really seriously. and there needs to be a huge cash injection into the special needs, high needs, budget immediately. local authorities are allocated money to spend on children with high

>> well, the department of education has said in the past three deck aerkdpuerto rico s seen school enrollment drop at 42%, and since may have last year, enrollment has dropped by 38,7 most of it is due to the economic crisis, but in addition, there's been roughly 5,000 people who have left after hurricane maria. so mostf is due to the drop, in addition to them wanting te o consolidhools and save some money. >> sreenivasan: so what happens to the teachers. wh happens to the buildings? sure, well, there's about 4,700e hers who will be affected. the secretary of education has promised that no one will lose their job. so the plan is r toedistribute them to other schools. and those who need more training will receive more trainihng expect ten one of the biggest complaints is exactly that-- what wil happen to the schools? puerto rico, from 2010 to 2015, has closed abt 150 schools, and then last year, they closed 1anoth schools, and now, there's about 283 schools that they're closing. and most of them have become a blight. across the island. some have been turned into community centers. the governor

the senate continues work at the department of education the committee holds a confirmation hearing ons.

but the department of education insists that local authorities now have more money for every pupil, inl. 0ur education editor bra nwen jeffreys reports. every child deserves an education, but special needs help comes from the school budget first, then they fight for extra council funding from budgets already overstretched, making it hard for schools that want to be inclusive. it would be really sad for me if i ever got to the point where i said we don't want to take children with additional needs for financial reasons. i suspect there are schools and trust to looking really closely at the level of needs that a child comes in with and the amount of funding that will be attached to that and making really difficult decisions. in south gloucestershire, cash is being taken from every school. they're £7 million short for high needs children, and without support, they end up outside the system. can you imagine the torment a parent goes through, a parent of a child with special needs, where we are aren't educating them at all? special needs children are more likely to be left without an educat

we have the scores from the department of education looking at fourth grade and eighth grade reading d math. we have all these wonderful data. if you look at the 11 states, eight of those 11 states that put in the income tax declined in the provision of public services relative to the rest of the nation. three states improved, but the -- they improved improved by a little bit. of the 8, 5 had a collapse in the provision of public services. it is just a tragic, tragic outcome of what has happened. economics has consequences. it really does. when you look at the federal level today, i will just touch on the federal level with you here today. we have just had a tax bill pass in the u.s. which was passed last year at the very end of last year. the u.s. corporate tax rate , statutory rate which was 35% in 2017 was the very highest statutory tax rate in the oecd. the very highest. we have not changed that rate since 1992 when george herbert walker bush raise it from 34% to 35%. it has been the same since 1992 all the way to the present. in the year 2000, with that same tax rate we were seve
