Also, I want to clarify my original message regarding funding for various programs. I failed to mention that the final Omnibus Appropriations Conference Report included a 0.59 percent across-the-board cut to all programs contained in the bill. As a result, it had the following impact on programs for FY 2004 (a full list of education program funding levels seen at http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/budget04/04action.pdf?src=rt): Even Start: $248.375 million - .59% = $246.910 million (FY 03 - $248.375 million) Adult Education State Grants: $577,781 million - .59% = $574.372 million (FY 03 - $571.262 million) Adult Education National Leadership Activities: $9.22 million -.59% = $9.16 million (FY 03 - $9.4 million) NIFL: $6.73 million - .59% = $6.69 million (FY 03 - $6.5 million) Considering the economic environment, this is still good news for the field. According to the U.S. Department of Education web site, they are scheduled to update the amount of the individual state allocations for various programs next week after the President has submitted is FY 2005 budget request. You can keep up with this information at the following Website: http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/statetables/index.html?src=rt Keep up the great work!
