This morning the House Appropriations Committee will meet to consider the fiscal year 2020 302(b) allocations — these are the top line allocation for the 12 government funding bills — and to mark up the Labor-HHS-Education funding bill that was released last week. 

The Committee meeting will be https://appropriations.house.gov/events/markups/fy2020-labor-health-and-human-services-education-and-related-agencies-subcommittee.

Most importantly, they've posted the Labor-HHS-Education subcommittee https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/democrats.appropriations.house.gov/files/FY2020%20LHHS_Report.pdf that has the tables showing funding levels for each program. Title II adult education is on page 329. That table is also attached to this message. Our guess at the increase proposed turns out to be correct:

$ 665,000  State grants (+ $23,045)

$  13,712  National Leadership (no increase)

$ 678,712  TOTAL

Again, what's interesting about this is that an appropriation of $678 million-ish is a proposal to appropriate funding at the authorized level for, I believe, the first time in the history of  WIOA Title II.

Don't have time look at other areas of interest in the table, but I know for most of you this is the big one.​

Thanks, Jeff. Good to see a proposed appropriation at the authorized level.

Colleagues, we will discuss the Labor-H proposal at the beginning of our meeting tomorrow (9:30-ish) so that Jeff can be with us. This will shorten the President's Welcome somewhat, which is hardly tragic.

Per CEF:

At the meeting, the House Appropriations Committee approved a FY 2020 302(b) allocation for the Labor-HHS-Education bill at a level that was slightly more than what was originally set, leaving room for an amendment.  The Committee then adopted Chairwoman DeLauro’s amendment to add an additional $103 million for various programs, several of which are relevant to this list, such as:

​

$10 million for museums and libraries

$10 million for career technical education state grants

$7 million for adult education state grants

So presumably that means the bill that comes out of committee will actually have $672 million for Title II state grants.

Been so long since they've added more funding in the full committee deliberations, the possibility didn't even occur to me.
