[quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, US ED "entitlement" funding is about 10%. These funds usually don't directly support teacher/principal salaries (due to supplement, not supplant laws)...so initially the impact will be central office staff related to teacher training/PD, services for English language leaners, and supports for students/families identified as low income across a number of individual schools. All bad things, because schools don't have the budgets for this important work. DC also gets additional appropriations from Congress that are managed by US ED (SOAR Funding) which provides ~15M (?) of support annually for education in the city and this money supports schools, but also things like tutoring and outside support entities that work on school improvement efforts. And, there is the DC TAG (again, congressional appropriation managed by US ED) that lowers the cost of public universities and HBCUs for DC students. Not an exhaustive list, point is that the potential impact is well beyond school budgets. Though not managed by US ED, there is also significant funding for National School Lunch Program. [/quote]
