Attachment

Superintendent Donna Hargens recommends that the Board of Education approve the attached 2013 Legislative Priorities document.

The National School Boards Association is asking each local school board to sign a resolution urging Congress to rescind across-the-board budget cuts to education. Federal funding for education faces significant cuts that are scheduled to become effective on January 2, 2013. The Budget Control Act of 2011 will impose across-the-board cuts of 7.8 percent or more to education through a process called sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources), unless Congress intervenes.

The Facts:

• The impact of a 7.8 percent cut to programs such as Title I grants for disadvantaged students would mean a cut of more than $1 billion, affecting nearly two million students.
• Special education grants would be reduced by more than $900 million, impacting nearly 500,000 children with disabilities.
• English Language Acquisition grants would be cut by approximately $60 million, affecting an estimated 377,000 students.
• Sequestration's budget cuts to these and other education programs would mean increased class sizes, reduction of extended learning opportunities, reduction of teacher professional development, and less access to programs for children with special needs, as well as summer school, college counselors, early childhood education, and after-school programming.

Most school districts have experienced significant budget cuts in recent years, resulting in fewer course offerings, thousands of teacher and staff layoffs, four-day school weeks, loss of extracurricular activities, and reduced transportation services. If further budget cuts from sequestration were to occur, school districts would be forced to cut even more essential services and these devastating budget cuts would force some schools to close.
