Will Federal Education Funding Change?

John Kline the chairman of the Heritage Foundation recently discussed federal legislation which is on the horizon.  This legislation will eliminate federal funding programs that do not allow school systems to spend money in the areas that they most need.  Right now federal education funds are dispersed in different categories.  For example,  a school may be brimming with interactive whiteboards (smart boards) and other technology, however what the school really needed most was an additional interventionist to help struggling readers.  Federal funds may not be allotted for this particular need, and so the school continues another year with their need unmet—but with plenty of technology!  The good news is that educators can now look forward to  legislation that will counteract this pitfall in federal education funding.
