  1. Federal Funding 101 Noelle Ellerson

  2. Federal Funding • Timelines matter! • Education budgets are influenced by federal, state and local timelines, none of which line up • Federal budget year starts Oct 1 • We are in federal fiscal year 2013 (Oct 1 2012-Sept 30 2013) • FY13 dollars will be in your school in the 2013-14 school year

  3. Federal Funding: Two Processes • Budget • Sets overall spending for the government • Determines the size of the ‘pie’ • Establishes policy priorities • Budget resolutions are non-binding • Appropriations • Sets spending levels for agencies and programs • Education funding is in the LHHS-Edu appropriation bill

  4. FY12 Funding ‘Pie’

  5. How’d We Get Here? • Budget Control Act of 2011 • Part of debate to raise debt ceiling • Established requirement to save $1.2 trillion over ten years; failure to reach agreement for blended approach via Super Committee would trigger sequestration • Sequestration was triggered January 1, 2012 and took effect March 1 2013 • It established ten years of budget caps that set the overall spending ‘pie’ for ten years

  6. Budget Control Act • BCA set in law discretionary caps for ten years (FY 12-FY 21). • Reduced spending by $900 billion over ten years. • Supercommittee failure triggered sequestration. • $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts between FY 13-21; 50% from defense, 50% from nondefense

  13. Funding • Sequestration • It happened! • 5.1% • Across the board, all K-12 programs, will impact you in 2013-14 school year • IMPACT AID is immediate • Role of Sequester in pulling the level on flexibility re: IDEA MoE • Still not resolved, still opportunity to get it ‘fixed’.

  14. Funding: FY14 • House and Senate each passed budget resolutions. • Drastically different; we are likely on course for another CR • House • Maintains sequestration • Funding levels for education are, at best, slightly worse than sequestration • Significant reliance on discretionary spending cuts • Senate • Resolves sequestration, though there would still be cuts to discretionary spending • Maintains investment in education • Includes$20 million for school infrastructure

  15. FY14: President’s Request • Dead on arrival (or, even more so than usual!) • Once again highlights education as a funding priority • Once again pushes all new dollars in to competitive programs • $1.2 billion in new funding goes to competition. Level funds Title I and IDEA, along with almost all other programs.

  16. FY14 President’s Budget Request • New money in: • STEM • School Safety • i3 and RttT • Charter Schools, Magnet Schools and High School redesign • Promise Neighborhoods • 21st Century • Questionable assumptions • Resolves sequester • ESEA reauthorization • NO funding for education technology • Impact Aid CUT $66 million
