Joe Biden releases public education plan to raise teacher pay and invest in schools.
As he continues his push for union support, former Vice President Joe Biden announced his education plan at a town hall in Houston hosted by the American Federation of Teachers on Tuesday afternoon.
Biden plans to"triple funding for Title I, the federal program funding schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families, and require districts to use these funds to offer educators competitive salaries and make other critical investments prior to directing the funds to other purposes.
Biden said his administration would also invest in school vocational training and partnerships between high schools, community colleges, and employers. He says that the"partnerships will create programs that allow students to earn an industry credential upon high school graduation, a credential that readies them for a good-paying career.Biden also touched on a policy position not included in the plan his campaign put forward—free community college.
The town hall was part of the union's 2020 endorsement process for its 1.7 million members. Biden will be joined by his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, a veteran educator, and the couple will attend the town hall along with AFT President Randi Weingarten, Houston Federation of Teachers President Zeph Capo, union members and students.
