Fiscal
Year 2011 Budget New!
On February 1, 2010
President Obama released his Fiscal Year 2011 Budget. See what is requested for
the programs and activities of the Department of Education.
FY
2010 Appropriations
On
December 16, 2009, the President signed into law H.R. 3288, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010, Division D of which provides FY 2010 funding for the
Department of Education (ED). A table (last updated 12/16/2009) showing the
amounts provided for ED by H.R. 3288 is available in PDF
[106KB] and
MS
Excel [330KB].
It also shows the amounts provided in FY 2009 (including the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act funding) and at each major step in the FY 2010
appropriations process.
The
Department of Education has released the final requirements for $3.5 billion in
Title I School Improvement grants to turn around the nation's lowest performing
schools. The applications are now available at http://www.ed.gov/programs/sif/applicant.html and
are due into the Department of Education by Feb. 8, 2010.
On November 12th The U.S.
Department of Education announced the final criteria/application package for
Race to the Top investments. All materials related to this announcement
can be found on the Race
to the Top web site.
Please
see AESA's Legislative Page
for the newest information on Race to the Top, E-Rate and a follow-up on the 2009
ECA Legislative Conference.
The
AESA staff have reviewed and researched the U.S Department of Education’s
October 9, 2009 Federal Register announcement of proposed priorities,
requirements, definitions, and selection criteria for the Investing in Education
(i3) grants. While the announcement specifies eligibility of LEAs to apply for
the grants, and federal law includes ESAs in the definition of LEAs, we believe
that there needs to be an explicit inclusion of ESAs as eligible applicants.
Please read the letter
that AESA has submitted to the U.S. Department of Education making that request.
