🟡 Examine practical ways AI can help educators/family members adapt instruction, develop learning supports, provide feedback, and create opportunities for students to more meaningfully engage with their education.
🔵 Consider how AI can support planning, problem solving, and decision making for educators/families as they seek to improve student learning, independence, and educational outcomes.
🟡 Identify important considerations for the responsible and purposeful use of AI in K–12 education, including when AI can enhance instruction and when educator and family judgment remains essential.

NDSC Commends Bipartisan Bill to Block Transferring Special Education to HHS

NDSC strongly supports H.R. 10232, a bipartisan bill to keep all special education, postsecondary, Native American, and elementary and secondary education activities within the Department of Education. This House bill, introduced by Representatives Mannion, Fitzpatrick and Scott, would stop the administration from transferring these programs to other departments. It is identical to S. 5046, the bill approved by the Senate HELP Committee. Special education is part of the education system, not a health program, and must remain with other education offices — not sent to the Department of Health and Human Services.
