Final 2008 budget a mixed bag for schools
- Categorized in: Daily EducationNews, K-12
Ending a tense standoff with the White House, the Democratic-led Congress has agreed to a $555-billion year-end budget bill that meets President Bush's baseline spending cap on domestic programs and allows lawmakers to return home for the holidays. The budget contains $59.4 billion in funding for the U.S. Department of Education (ED), though an across-the-board recision of 1.75 percent will leave actual ED spending at $58.4 billion. The recision also means $5 million less in federal ed-tech funding this year.
