President’s Budget Includes $50 Million Increase for Part C!
The President’s Budget was just released this morning and includes a $50 million increase for Part C for FFY 2012! This is wonderful news for young children with disabilities and their families. Unfortunately, the budget includes a freeze for the 619 Preschool Program. A $200 million increase for Part B, 611 grants is also included. Part D programs were generally held to a freeze except for a Technology cut for ear-marked programs.
This is the first step in the 2012 process. The Congress and President must agree to a final figure before October 1, 2011 when the FFY 2012 year begins. These FFY 2012 funds will determine the amount states will receive for IDEA grants on July 1, 2012.
Additional information on the President’s FFY 2012 Budget will be provided later today.
