Thank you, Evelyn, for that introduction.
It’s a joy to be back here. I look forward to NABE every year . . . because when I’m here, I know I’m preaching to the choir. Me siento que estoy entre familia. Espero la sopa ahorita.

I’m pleased to speak to you today to announce and highlight President Biden’s Education Budget for Fiscal Year 2025.
From day one, President Biden has fought tooth and nail to deliver the resources to our schools, colleges and universities – not only to recover from the pandemic, but to achieve academic excellence and position our students to compete globally.

Thank you, Commissioner Carr, and Department of Education colleagues.
