Summary:

This report examines federal appropriations for K-12 education. It begins withthe status of FY2007 appropriations. The report discusses the programs that aretypically included in K-12 education, and the relationship between the No Child LeftBehind Act of 2001 (NCLBA), P.L. 107-110, enacted January 8, 2002, and theElementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). The President's annualrequests are compared with the final appropriations for K-12 programs sinceFY2000. Funding for components of K-12 education and major ESEA programs areshown since FY2001. Authorizations and appropriations are compared since FY2002for ESEA, and since FY2005 for Part B Grants for States of the Individuals withDisabilities Education Act (IDEA). The resulting differences have been a continuingissue regarding the possible funding shortfall for ESEA and IDEA. Thereauthorization of ESEA programs is likely to be considered by the 110th Congress.
