President Bush has produced a budget proposal that cuts, freezes or provides minor increases in funding to key education programs as well as severe cuts in essential healthcare programs. In the next few weeks Congress will develop its fiscal year 2009 budget resolution, which outlines overall spending levels for the upcoming fiscal year and is Congress’ first opportunity to offer an alternative to the budget President Bush has proposed. Congress needs to approve a budget resolution that provides enough funding to allow for significant increases in spending on programs that help children and teachers succeed. It is important that you contact your senators and representative at this crucial time.
