Bush Fiscal Year 2008 Education Budget: Failing to Invest in Schools, Denying Critical Services to Disadvantaged Children, Allowing College Tuition to Soar...and More

摘要

President Bush cuts $1.5 billion in education funding. In his fiscal year 2008 budget, President Bush cuts $1.5 billion, or 2.6%, from education funding despite the critical need to boost high quality educational opportunities for all Americans. President Bushs budget reflects his misguided priorities, driving up the deficit to record levels with a failed tax policy while cutting the most critical programs that serve American children, students and families. Inadequate federal investments will further jeopardize education reform focused on improved accountability, teacher quality and school safety, and will hamper postsecondary access for millions of students.
