Lori supports increasing Title I funding for our low-income schools
Increase Title I funding for low-income schools.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congresswoman Trahan's education issue page says she supports 'the goal of increasing public school teacher pay and public education funding' and lists the 'Supporting the goal of increasing public school teacher pay and public education funding' as supported legislation.
The Department of Education's Title I, Part A page lists historical appropriations and notes 'Please see ED’s Budget History Tables for information on the President’s budget requests and enacted appropriations for major ED programs.' The page shows FY 2022-FY 2025 allocation data, with no lookback-window evidence here of a new enacted increase tied to Trahan.
Assessments
Trahan is a federal House member, so the relevant test is whether federal Title I appropriations increased while she was in office and whether she had plausible congressional credit through voting/supporting appropriations and education funding. Title I, Part A funding increased during her House tenure, including enacted increases in the FY2022 and FY2023 federal appropriations cycles. The promise was broad rather than tied to a specific dollar amount or bill, so enacted federal funding increases for Title I during her same term satisfy the outcome. Candidate-specific credit is modest because she was one member of Congress rather than the sole author, but her stated support and participation in the House appropriations process are enough for delivery on a broad spending promise.
