“If my colleague will yield, at the bottom level here, if you do not believe the system as my colleague and I are describing it, all you need to do is go to your local school and go to the administration building and ask them if they have got a couple of people.

I mean, the gentleman and I, when we went to I think 20, 21 States and we had the hearings around the country on what is wrong with this process, they all said we have to get grant writers. What is a grant writer? A grant writer works at the local school district level. They take a look at this whole arrangement, an assortment of Federal education programs, and they go through there and they figure out which one their school may qualify for, and they start filling out the grant applications.”
