Education Funding: Fiscal Year 2013 Preview
President Obama has announced that he will release his fiscal year 2013 budget proposal the week of February 13, one week later than expected. Budget negotiations this year will be particularly critical, as automatic cuts are scheduled to go into effect for many programs, including education, on January 1, 2013.  These cuts, triggered by the failure of the “super committee” to reach a deficit reduction deal late last year, could slash billions from education and cost additional loss of jobs across America. The cuts to education programs would also result in a projected loss of more than 71,000 jobs in communities across America. Tell Congress to protect education from further cuts.Visit our Education Votes site to share your story and read about other actions Arkansas' educators can take to make sure our voices are heard on the issues that matter the most. http://www.educationvotes.nea.org/
