Daniel Akaka: “this amendment restores $3 billion to title I in No Child Left Behind…”

On the recordMarch 16, 2006

this amendment restores $3 billion to title I in No Child Left Behind educational programs. The amendment was offered because this budget resolution underfunds title I by more than $12 billion. You should know that a $3 billion increase would bring title I up to what the President requested since fiscal year 2004. Without this increase, 29 States could lose title I funding, and another 7 States would be level funded. Vote aye on the amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time? The Senator from Wyoming.
