From the Executive DirectorHappy Holidays!
Good news! Congress has approved and the President has signed H.R. 1865, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of FY20 which funds the federal government from October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2020. H.R. 1865 provides $1.4 trillion in funding for FY20. The bill appropriates $738 billion in fiscal 2020 funding for defense discretionary spending and $632 billion for non-defense discretionary spending. Education funding has $40.1 billion for K-12 education programs, representing an increase of $1.2 billion above the 2019 enacted level and $5.9 billion above the President’s budget request. The act rejects cuts to critical programs proposed by the Trump Administration and no support for privatization efforts. Read more in our Jan 9th, 2020 Newsletter. |
