Hello again everyone, Here is some preliminary info on the House Labor-HHS-ED Subcommittee FY2017 Appropriations bill: a link to the bill text, and a table prepared by CEF that includes numbers from the House Appropriations Committee's press release, along with some additional information and numbers CEF has gathered from other sources. Note that the bill text doesn’t break out adult education grants from the total appropriation to Perkins/CTE/adult ed, although it does reserve $13,712 million for national leadership —the same as last year. Since the overall appropriation for Career, Technical, and Adult Education is exactly the same as FY 2016, and since we know national leadership is funded the same amount as last year, seems like a good bet that adult education state grants are also going to be flat-funded at the FY 2016 level as well ($581,955 million). But that’s just my own educated guess.
