A joint resolution supporting devolution of power from the United States department of education to the states.(Formerly SJR 2008.)

IA SJR2012 is a resolution that advocates for transferring educational authority from the federal government to individual states. This means that states would have more control over their own education systems, including policies and funding decisions. The bill aims to empower states to tailor education to their specific needs and priorities.

Supporters of IA SJR2012 argue that this resolution promotes local control and allows states to innovate in their education systems. They believe that state governments are better equipped to understand and meet the needs of their communities, leading to improved educational outcomes for students.

Critics of IA SJR2012 contend that reducing federal oversight could lead to unequal education quality across states. They warn that this devolution of power might result in less funding and support for disadvantaged schools, ultimately harming students who rely on federal resources for a quality education.
