Education Programs Cut in P.L. 112-4

 

  1. Improving teacher quality State grants (earmark for New Leaders for New Schools) = -$5.0
    (-0.4%)
  2. Civic education = -$31.7 (-90.4%)
  3. FIE national programs (earmarks) = -$88.1 (-70.2%)

  6. Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (earmarks) =
    -$101.5 million (-72.4%)

 

TOTAL = -$878.9 MILLION

[1] Striving readers was originally funded in FY 10 at $250 million.  $50 million was rescinded in the Education Jobs Fund legislation. The Current CR kept the original FY 10 level.  The proposed CR also rescinds $189 million in FY 10 funding.

[2] The House adopted the Young-Hirono amendment that struck the prohibition on funds being spent on education for Native Hawaiians and Alaska Native education equity programs. However, it did not increase funding for the overall School Improvement account, and thus maintained the $67.6 million cut to School Improvement Programs. The distribution of this cut among school improvement programs would be determined by the Department of Education.

[3] In addition to the discretionary funded maximum award, there is a mandatory add-on of $690. Thus the maximum award under the current CR is a total of $5,550, while the maximum award under HR 1 would be $4,705; a cut of $845, or 15.2%.

CEF Talking Points in Support of a $10 Billion Education Jobs Fund

August 5, 2010  |  No Comments  |  by Broddy  |  Charts and Factsheets

To read the full talking points, click here.

  1. The economic collapse created a disaster for states and schools across the country, and it’s going to take a long time for them to recover, even after we turn the corner.
  2. States and schools are facing an unprecedented fiscal crisis. While the economy is starting to improve, states face a cumulative budget gap of $200 billion in fiscal year 2010 and $180 billion in fiscal year 2011.  

  • When Our Students Succeed, Our Nation Succeeds.
