I can't believe this bill is trying to give more power to the Department of Health and Human Services to manage family engagement programs in schools. This is just another example of government overreach and interference in our education system. It's important for parents and local communities to be involved in their children's education, not some distant government agency. This bill is a step in the wrong direction and I hope it doesn't pass.

So, this bill wants HHS to handle family engagement programs for schools. Seems like a lot of government involvement in education. How will this impact us in the long run?
