Hi everyone,
As expected, the Department of Education’s congressional justifications for the FY 2020 budget request was released yesterday.
https://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/budget20/justifications/m-ctae.pdf
Details about the pre-apprenticeship program they are proposing for the national leadership activities line item are on pages M29-30. It will be a formula-based grant to the states who will then compete the grant money to local providers.
The document also marks the return of the boilerplate language about the purposes of WIOA Title II, including the set-aside for Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE)
state grants.
I NEED A QUICK SENSE OF THE ROOM REGARDING THE CEF BUDGET BOOK. I plan to be mostly silent on the pre-apprenticeship proposal in this years’s CEF budget book, although I may mention what WIOA says is the purpose of the national leadership activities line item, and raise the question as to whether the administration’s proposal fits there. MY QUESTION IS: Is this OK? If any of you supportive of the President's proposal, or strongly against, it would be useful to know, so I can be careful about how write about it. You can write me privately or share with the group.
THANKS!
Jeff

CLASP will be silent on the pre-apprenticeship proposal in the administration’s budget. Though, to be candid, if they had increased grants to states AND had this $60m program, we would be praising it!

Jeff,
I attend Chris Coro's session at TESOL last week. He made two observations that I think are relevant:
-
In the two previous years, the White House budget request has included major cuts to AEFLA funding, and Congress has responded by increasing the appropriation.
-
It may be that the proposed pre-apprenticeship program doesn't fit under nat'l leadership activities as currently defined, but Congress can change the definition as part of the appropriation.
So I think my suggestion would be to maintain focus on AEFLA in general and say little to nothing about the pre-apprenticeship proposal. Looking at last year's budget book (I sleep with it under my pillow...), I'd say use that as a model. The one thing that would be REALLY useful to me, and might be worth including, would be a chart showing the authorized amounts by year v. the appropriated amounts v. (possibly) the President's (Bush 43, Obama, & Trump if you go back as far as last year's chart did) budget request amount.

Yes, the discussion about increasing the Title II appropriation went on independently and had no connection at all to Trump's proposal, which was ignored those years, as it will be this time.
The Obama administration also was in the habit of asking for more money for national leadership, even as they flatlined the state grants. I don’t believe Congress ever agreed to do that.
And I think the chances of going even further and changing the definition of national leadership activities in the appropriations bill is zero.
But I guess you could argue that the Trump proposal is better than the attempts that were occasionally made by the last administration to increase National Leadership, because at least the funds in this case would be going out to states/programs. But also that’s what makes this tricky — it’s a backdoor way of imposing a new pre-apprenticeship set-aside for the money going to states.
Anyway, will take your advise and not get into any of this in the article!

Hello All,
I concur with Deborah’s assessment of the FY 2020 Budget request and how we respond (or not). I also really like her idea of charting the three separate amounts for discussion purposes. It might help to alleviate any initial shock and concern around the latest White House budget request.
And for the record, last year’s budget book was not even allowed in my house, never mind making it into my bedroom! ☺
Be well,
Tom

Looking at last year's budget book (I sleep with it under my pillow...), I'd say use that as a model. The one thing that would be REALLY useful to me, and might be worth including, would be a chart showing the authorized amounts by year v. the appropriated amounts v. (possibly) the President's (Bush 43, Obama, & Trump if you go back as far as last year's chart did) budget request amount.

Hi everyone,
As expected, the Department of Education’s congressional justifications for the FY 2020 budget request was released yesterday.

Details about the pre-apprenticeship program they are proposing for the national leadership activities line item are on pages M29-30. It will be a formula-based grant to the states who will then compete the grant money to local providers.
The document also marks the return of the boilerplate language about the purposes of WIOA Title II, including the set-aside for Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE)

I NEED A QUICK SENSE OF THE ROOM REGARDING THE CEF BUDGET BOOK. I plan to be mostly silent on the pre-apprenticeship proposal in this years’s CEF budget book, although I may mention what WIOA says is the purpose of the national leadership activities line item, and raise the question as to whether the administration’s proposal fits there. MY QUESTION IS: Is this OK? If any of you supportive of the President's proposal, or strongly against, it would be useful to know, so I can be careful about how write about it.

I think we should also continue to concentrate on the authorized amount --
even with the 60 million for PA, we are getting a cut and getting farther
away from the authorized amount, not closer! Let's just keep shooting for
that amount!

To the list:
Listed below are the current members of the House and Senate Appropriations
Subcommittees that will deal with the Adult Education appropriation for
FY20. Contacts for these members should be in the first wave of our
response to the Trump Budget proposal.
Senate: Murray-WA, Durbin-Ill., Reed-RI, Shaheen-NH, Merkley-OR, Schatz-HI,
Baldwin-WI, Murphy-CN, Manchin-WV, Blount-MO, Shelby-AL, Alexander-TN,
Moran-KS. Kennedy-LA, Graham-SC, Capito-WV, LHyde-Smith-MS, Rubio-FL.
Langford-OK
House: DeLauro-CN, Roybal-Allard-CA, Lee-CA, Pocan-WI, Clark-MA,
Frankel-FL, Bustos-Ill., Coleman-NJ, Harris-MD, Cole-OK, Moolenaar-MI,
Graves-LA, Herrera-Beutler-WA
Suggested Language for contacts:
Reject the Trump Administration's budget request for adult education
instead ask for the authorized amount in the legislation.
The proposed cut, along with the proposed move of $60 million from the
state grant line item to National programs, would reduce existing funding
to local programs by 25%.
(I think that we need to raise the proposed $60 million transfer in case we
get more money or level funding and the transfer remains in the budget)
Keep in mind that we would like this message to come from adult educators
who LIVE IN THE HOUSE MEMBER'S DISTRICTS and from anyone in the Senator's
state. However the MOST IMPORTANT part of our response will not be
student/staff letters, although they are needed, but a direct contact from
a resident of the House/Senate district/state to the staff person in those
offices who is in charge of workforce development/education legislation. We
are aware that the COABE/State Directors website will generate some
contacts but not necessarily the direct connection to the appropriate staff
person.
In the case of Senator Shaheen's-NH office I will have that conversation.
We will follow that up with a combination of student and staff letters on
the issue.
Feel free to create whatever response/responses that make sense for your
state.
On we go.

under nat'l leadership activities as currently defined, but Congress can
change the definition as part of the appropriation.
So I think my suggestion would be to maintain focus on AEFLA in general
and say little to nothing about the pre-apprenticeship proposal. Looking at
last year's budget book (I sleep with it under my pillow...), I'd say use
that as a model. The one thing that would be REALLY useful to me, and might
be worth including, would be a chart showing the authorized amounts by
year v. the appropriated amounts v. (possibly) the President's (Bush
43, Obama, & Trump if you go back as far as last year's chart did) budget
request amount.

Hi everyone,
As expected, the Department of Education’s congressional justifications
for the FY 2020 budget request was released yesterday.
https://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/budget20/justifications/m-ctae.pdf
Details about the pre-apprenticeship program they are proposing for the
national leadership activities line item are on pages M29-30. It will be a
formula-based grant to the states who will then compete the grant money to
local providers.
The document also marks the return of the boilerplate language about the
purposes of WIOA Title II, including the set-aside for Integrated English
Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE)
state grants.
I NEED A QUICK SENSE OF THE ROOM REGARDING THE CEF BUDGET BOOK. I plan
to be mostly silent on the pre-apprenticeship proposal in this years’s CEF
budget book, although I may mention what WIOA says is the purpose of
the national leadership activities line item, and raise the question as to
whether the administration’s proposal fits there. MY QUESTION IS: Is
this OK? If any of you supportive of the President's proposal, or strongly
against, it would be useful to know, so I can be careful about how write
about it. You can write me privately or share with the group.
THANKS!

To the list:
Listed below are the current members of the House and Senate Appropriations
Subcommittees that will deal with the Adult Education appropriation for
FY20. Contacts for these members should be in the first wave of our
response to the Trump Budget proposal.
Senate: Murray-WA, Durbin-Ill., Reed-RI, Shaheen-NH, Merkley-OR, Schatz-HI,
Baldwin-WI, Murphy-CN, Manchin-WV, Blount-MO, Shelby-AL, Alexander-TN,
Moran-KS. Kennedy-LA, Graham-SC, Capito-WV, LHyde-Smith-MS, Rubio-FL.
Langford-OK
House: DeLauro-CN, Roybal-Allard-CA, Lee-CA, Pocan-WI, Clark-MA,
Frankel-FL, Bustos-Ill., Coleman-NJ, Harris-MD, Cole-OK, Moolenaar-MI,
Graves-LA, Herrera-Beutler-WA
Suggested Language for contacts:
Reject the Trump Administration's budget request for adult education
instead ask for the authorized amount in the legislation.
The proposed cut, along with the proposed move of $60 million from the
state grant line item to National programs, would reduce existing funding
to local programs by 25%.
(I think that we need to raise the proposed $60 million transfer in case we
get more money or level funding and the transfer remains in the budget)
Keep in mind that we would like this message to come from adult educators
who LIVE IN THE HOUSE MEMBER'S DISTRICTS and from anyone in the Senator's
state. However the MOST IMPORTANT part of our response will not be
student/staff letters, although they are needed, but a direct contact from
a resident of the House/Senate district/state to the staff person in those
offices who is in charge of workforce development/education legislation. We
are aware that the COABE/State Directors website will generate some
contacts but not necessarily the direct connection to the appropriate staff
person.
In the case of Senator Shaheen's-NH office I will have that conversation.
We will follow that up with a combination of student and staff letters on
the issue.
Feel free to create whatever response/responses that make sense for your
state.
On we go.
