# No Cuts to Public Schools Act

This bill prevents the federal government from reducing funding to public schools below the levels they received in the previous year. In other words, if a school district got a certain amount of federal education money this year, they're guaranteed to receive at least that same amount the following year—the funding can stay the same or go up, but it cannot go down.

The bill protects schools from sudden budget drops that could force them to cut programs, lay off teachers, or reduce services to students. This matters because many school districts rely on federal funding for important programs like special education, Title I support for low-income students, school meals, and other essential services. Without this protection, schools could face unpredictable budget swings that make it difficult to plan for the school year or maintain consistent educational quality.

Who this affects most directly includes students in public schools, teachers and school staff, and school administrators who manage budgets. It's particularly important for schools in lower-income areas that depend more heavily on federal dollars. Parents would benefit from knowing their schools have more stable, predictable funding. However, the bill doesn't increase overall education spending—it just prevents year-to-year decreases in what schools already receive from the federal government.
