We are greatly concerned about and deeply oppose the significant cuts to IES included in the FY2017 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill passed by the Appropriations Committee on July 14. The committee cut $82 million in funding from an already underfunded budget, threatening the tremendous contributions that IES is making to support education research that informs efforts to improve our schools and support our students. As the independent education research, evaluation and statistics institute within the Department of Education, IES continues to produce rigorous knowledge that drives practical solutions to our nation’s education challenges. Investing in scientifically valid research benefits teaching and learning while laying the groundwork for an educated population and future workforce. The promise of this education evidence base has been explicitly recognized under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, bipartisan legislation that requires increased use of evidence-based education policies. Unfortunately, as states are moving forward to implement ESSA, the Appropriations Committee voted to cut funding for IES, the source of the evidence that would empower states to successfully advance the quality of education across this nation.
