On a very serious note it is important for each member of society that cares about the common sense and career education for our children please write your U.S. Legislature members about keeping the CTE (Career and Technical Education) funded appropriately. FACS falls under this category. Every year we seem to go through this and our funding is not holding steady.
If we want to continue to education children in the areas of FACS, Tech Ed, Agriculture and Business we must keep this funding alive. Please assist us with our letter campaign. The following is a letter from our FACS director requesting continued support.
"As you may know, Perkins is the principal source of dedicated federal funding for CTE (includes family and consumer sciences), which builds the capacity of secondary and postsecondary institutions to offer CTE programs that are academically rigorous and aligned to the needs of business and industry. However, funding has not kept pace with growing demand. Current Perkins funding is more than $140 million below FY 2010 levels.
Currently, there are letters circulating to House and Senate appropriations committees, which ask for a restoration of Basic State Grant funding to the pre-sequestration level of $1.123 billion.
The deadline for Members of Congress to sign in the House is Monday, March 23, and in the Senate is Wednesday, March 25! We need as many Members of Congress as possible to sign these letters to help ensure that the appropriations committees recognize the importance of funding CTE.
Please take a few minutes now to help us in this effort by contacting your Senators and Representative using the tools in the CTE Action Center!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Jackson, CFCS
AAFCS Executive Director"
Please help the CTE programs in your area!
With love from your retired FACS teacher, Jane
