Summary


Recent Legislative Action


    On June 30, 2000, the Senate passed its version ofFY2001 appropriations legislation
for the U.S. Department of Education (H.R. 4577). It provides that $2.7 billion of the
appropriation for Title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is for
activities supporting school districts' strategies to improve student achievement. Among
other activities, these funds may also be used for class size reduction, and recruitment,
hiring, and training of highly qualified teachers. The bill also funds Eisenhower
Professional Development state grants at $435 million; it does not fund the Class Size
Reduction (CSR) program.1 The House-passed version (June 14, 2000) includes $1.75
billion for the Teacher Empowerment Act (contingent upon its enactment - see below)
and zeroes out the Eisenhower Professional Development program and the CSR program.
