Education Law

Early childhood, school repair passed in higher ed bill

Pre-K-12 advocates have much to celebrate with the passage of the $87 billion higher education bill in the House last week.  The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009, H.R. 3221, contains $8 billion for an Early Learning Challenge Fund for eight years and $4 billion in school repair and modernization, see NSBA’s update on legislative action here.

Thanks to NSBA’s grassroots members who contacted their House of Representatives urging them to support the bill. NSBA is now working with the Senate to pass the same initiative.
