You may have caught last week that the House Appropriation Committee moved a 26% cut to Title I. Please continue to keep in mind a few things on this:
- We are talking here about NEXT school year. Yes, the discussion is on fiscal year '26, but that's FEDERAL fiscal year 2026, which starts October 1. That's money that districts will be using for NEXT school year, in what we at the state and local level will call FY27.
- The Senate Appropriation Committee DID NOT cut Title I and the two chambers have to agree on a resolution for it to move forward.
- There is, again, a very good chance that this isn't going to be done for October, in any case, and people are already discussing a possible government shutdown again.
This is certainly something to keep an eye on, but we're not in panic mode at this point.
