Education
Education is an issue that reaches
every member of our society and is essential to
America's future. Earlier this Congress, I voted
in support of H.R. 1, the Leave No Child Behind
Act. This legislation provided needed funding increases
for Head Start, school construction and mentoring
programs, among others. In addition, I have cosponsored
legislation that will expand reading programs, increase
technology training for elementary and secondary
school teachers, and increase the opportunities
under the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act. Finally, in order to realize the opportunities
that the Leave No Child Behind Act provided, I have
sent letters to the congressional appropriations
committees in order to insure that appropriate funding
levels are available for school mentoring and counseling
programs, that no funds are cut from the Pell Grant
program, and that funding continues for the TRIO
program, which assists first-generation college
students to attend and pay for college.
