Summary:
Congress provides annual appropriations and periodically
provides supplemental appropriations for public elementary
and secondary schools through many agencies and
programs. Of these funds, the largest tranche of federal
funding for public elementary and secondary schools is for
programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA). All ESEA programs are
administered by the Department of Education (ED).
This In Focus examines revenues for public elementary and
secondary education (hereinafter referred to as public
education) and the share of this revenue provided by the
federal government. It also details overall federal funding
provided for ESEA programs since FY2002, following the
reauthorization of the ESEA by the No Child Left Behind
Act (P.L. 107-110).
