“fund down the slate”
GEAR-UP $301.6 million appropriation Probably enough for $70 million in new
State and Partnership grants No TRIO precollege (Talent Search,
Upward Bound) competitions planned
FY 2015 Budget Release delayed until March 4 (one
month late) The Budget Control Act caps the amount
for “non-defense discretionary” spending at only slightly above the 2014 level ($492.356 billion vs. $491.773 billion)
Needs in other areas (e.g., VA health care, Pell Grants) may make it difficult to achieve gains or even hold the line in K-12 education
Appropriators may try to move quickly
State of the Union Items “ConnectED” (E-Rate) goal of connecting
99% of K-12 students with next-generation wireless and broadband technology within 5 years. President will announce philanthropic partnerships with companies like Apple, Microsoft, Spring, Verizon
Administration will announce winners of $100 million DOL high school initiative (funded with H-1B visa fees)
No mention of ESEA reauthorization (indicative of low priority?)
