PAA & APC Co-Sign Knowledge All Letter to Congress 

02-18-2025 10:43 AM

Representatives from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have unilaterally cancelled an unprecedented number of contracts that support evaluation, research, and data collection for the U.S. Department of Education. When we know that the average student remains nearly half a grade level behind pre-pandemic achievement in math and reading, it is astonishing that the Administration would cancel work helping to bring evidence-based learning to students. Yet in States where they instituted evidence-based practices, like Alabama, scores improved. The cancellation of these contracts stops work to improve test scores, impedes accountability, hurts students’ education, and stops work statutorily directed by Congress.   
 
In cancelling these contracts DOGE took significant action to work against efficiency and effectiveness, cutting off support for educators and parents that want to know what works to improve outcomes. Projects that were cancelled were helping students, parents, teachers and principals.
