Continuing spending resolution...now with ed cuts

The House has passed a compromise bill to keep government up and running. In the bill, however, are some education cuts:
The measure also includes significant cuts to education programs that would extend beyond the two-week period, including entirely scrapping the $250 million Striving Readers program, the $88 million Small Learning Communities Program, and the $66 million Even Start program. It also would get rid of the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships, or LEAP, program, financed at $64 million.


I've got to go back through my grants list to tell you if and how much this would change Worcester's numbers. If it passes the Senate, I'll update.
