The House Appropriations Committee plans to begin mark-ups for FY21 appropriations bills, including funding for education programs, SOON, with the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies subcommittee holding their mark-up on July 7.
After years of declining federal support for CTE, the past three federal budgets (FY18, FY19, FY20) have included modest increases for the Perkins Basic State Grant program. Your advocacy these past few years has been critical to securing increases in Perkins funding, and so we need your help again to keep the momentum going!
You can also call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will then connect you with your requested Senate office.
We need to continue to raise awareness with policymakers to ensure they understand the many benefits associated with high-quality CTE programs. Your advocacy makes a difference and encourages policymakers to take action, so please contact your representative today!
