| Title | Will Federal Education Funding Leave Children Behind |
| Body | From: "OEA" The National Education Association reports that U.S. House and Senate negotiations continue on the overdue appropriations bill that determines federal education funding for fiscal year 2004 amidst growing frustration. Neither the House nor the Senate bill provides the funding promised in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), now renamed the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). And, only the Senate bill, but not the House bill, would put special education on the path to fully funding the commitment Congress made more than 26 years ago when the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) was enacted. Urge Congress to pay the bill and provide the increased funding necessary for both general and special education students to meet the new and higher standards.
