We have heard from a very credible source that there is
a very real threat to cut virtually all of the education funding out of the
economic recovery bill. One version of the amendment reportedly on the
table with Collins’ working group would:
· Cut all of the State Stabilization Fund ($79 billion intended to close education budget shortfalls)
· All of the Title I funding in the bill ($13 billion)
· All of the Pell Grant increase
· All of the school modernization/facilities money (the appropriations money, not the tax-related items)
Basically, that only leaves one significant allocation for education – special education/IDEA money.
