Needed: a strategy to promote resilience Compiling a list of suggestions, they push
federal agencies to «make resilience a core aspect of all
federal infrastructure and disaster - recovery
funding» to strengthen affordable housing; ask
for federal leaders to expand
funding for programs, such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program, so at - risk municipalities can develop disaster plans and assess their vulnerabilities; and boost economic stability by opposing
cuts to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance
Program, or SNAP, so families can afford to eat after a disaster.
It describes many of the
cuts as broad goals to slice deeply into government climate and energy
programs,
federal support
for energy research at universities and
funding for national laboratories, many of which conduct clean energy and climate research.
Although officials from the 4,000 districts nationwide that receive
federal impact - aid
funds have been outspoken in their opposition to
cuts in the
program recommended by the Reagan Administration, the Fairfax school board was the first in the country to threaten military families with tuition charges to make up
for the lost support.
They cited such potential problems as
funding cuts for preschool - age children if
federal aid fell below authorized levels, and a lack of money
for children who are too old to qualify
for infant - and - toddler
programs but too young to be served in preschool...
Earlier this year, the
Federal Government announced it was conducting a review of the
program, prompting several Coalition MPs, including ex-PM Tony Abbott, to call
for all
funding to be
cut entirely.
Cuts in the overall
federal budget could mean Tennessee could see larger class sizes, slashes to grant
funding for pre-kindergarten and teacher training and, eventually, the elimination of athletics and band
programs, according to superintendents and child advocacy groups.
If these
cuts were enacted, states would have to either backfill the loss of
federal support
for out - of - school care by drawing from other limited
funding streams or accept that previously served students would now be in unsafe, unsupervised environments outside of school hours.54 Attendance, student achievement, and peer and student - to - teacher relations could suffer.55 States that
cut after - school
programs would likely have to allocate additional dollars in future years to triage the loss of jobs or depressed student outcomes.
Funding for college work - study
programs would be
cut in half, public - service loan forgiveness would end and hundreds of millions of dollars that public schools could use
for mental health, advanced coursework and other services would vanish under a Trump administration plan to
cut $ 10.6 billion from
federal education initiatives, according to budget documents obtained by The Washington Post.
Other
federal programs would suffer significant
cuts, including grants to states
for career and technical education, which would lose $ 166 million, down 15 percent compared to current
funding.
The decision three years ago by President Barack Obama to not push
for a budget
for 2010 - 2011, a move to which Democrats who controlled all of Congress at the time had acquiesced (even as it was clear that the party would lose control of the
federal lower house), has resulted in sequestration - triggered budget
cuts that denies the administration
funding it can leverage through competitive grant
programs such as Race to the Top in order to force states to fulfill their promises under the waiver.
Outside of education, many
cuts proposed in President Trump's fiscal year 2018 budget — including stripping
funding for Medicaid, school breakfast and lunch
programs, and short - term
federal income assistance
for low - income families — would slash much - needed services or leave states holding the bag.
The
cuts are hitting hardest at school districts with a high share of disadvantaged students, as
federal funding primarily pays
for programs that serve needy and disabled students.
These
cuts are primarily driven by three factors: overstaffing in the previous school year; nine schools getting less
federal funding for after - school
programs; and the District moving the management of Measure G library
funds from school budgets to the central office budget.
This budget
cuts nearly $ 1 billion in
funding for low - income students, including eliminating the
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
program and slashing
funding from the Gear Up and TRIO
programs.
-- On the higher education front, the blueprint calls
for deep
cuts to
federal student aid
programs, which the administration describes as part of a «focus on streamlining and simplifying
funding for college.»
Without congressional action,
funding for nearly every
federal activity, including all education
programs, will be
cut by about 8 percent across the board starting January 2.
But what is so interesting about this issue is that the Connecticut Post and the Democratic legislators who are being so articulate and outspoken in their opposition to the proposed
federal cut to low income fuel assistance were silent when, back in May, Governor Malloy announced that his Plan B budget would eliminate
funding for Connecticut's Operation Fuel heating assistance
program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Education of the San Diego Unified School District calls on the U.S. Congress to remove the
funding freeze
for reauthorized ESEA
programs that would severely
cut services over the next six years, and urges the passage of a modernized version of ESEA that is fully supported by
federal investments in Title I, which has been woefully underfunded
for decades.
As the Center
for Education Reform has highlighted, states have already received most of their
federal education
funds for the year, making severe
cuts in personnel and
programs literally a choice, not a necessity.
The Teacher Quality Partnership Grant
Program, in Title II of the Higher Education Act, provides
funding to institutions of higher education, high - need local education agencies, and schools
for teacher preparation
programs.38 California State University,
for example, recently received a $ 8.1 million
federal grant to attract more Latinx candidates; to provide students with more opportunities
for hands - on training; and to create systems to track student - teacher progress in the classroom.39 The budget should prioritize
funding under the Every Student Succeeds Act and the Higher Education Act, instead of
cutting programs that attract teachers and improve diversity.
«Congress is expected to further
cut funding for conservation
programs and land agencies, already sitting at less than 1 percent of the
federal budget,» writes Brad Brooks, the associate director of the Idaho office of the Wilderness Society, a nonprofit conservation group dedicated to protecting natural areas and
federal public lands, in a recent AlterNet article.
Free and reduced health clinics are facing a 70 percent
cut in
federal funding unless Congress acts by the end of the month to extend
funding for the Health Centers
program.
The bill restricts certain State claims
for Federal reimbursement of administrative costs under the
Federal foster care
program; clarifies the use of Medicaid targeted case management services
for children in foster care; includes substantial
cuts to
programs; and reauthorizes TANF, adding new work requirements while providing almost no
funding increase in child care.
In his proposed
federal budget, President George W. Bush seeks
cuts across most
programs, including housing assistance, while increasing
funds for security.
