James M. Jeffords: “I think we have all done less than we should for education. I will point out that during the Clinton administration…”

On the recordMay 7, 2001
I think we have all done less than we should for education. I will point out that during the Clinton administration, there was practically little or no increase in title I funding. They did have other requests for increases, but for the very needy they did little. Also, for professional teachers, they did little. There was the class size proposal to add more teachers. We can debate this back and forth, but we are all guilty of not providing the necessary resources for education. I am hopeful we will go forward and pass the amendment I had, along with Senator Harkin, to fully fund IDEA.
