FY 2008 Senate Budget Resolution: Education

The FY 2008 Senate Budget Resolution rejects the President’s proposed cuts in education and training and adds significant new resources for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), No Child Left Behind Act, and Pell grants. It provides an increase for discretionary funding for the Department of Education of $6.1 billion (including $2 billion in additional 2009 advance appropriations) above the President’s request.
