It has already been clearly demonstrated that John McCain has not learned the lessons of the failed Bush policy on education and education funding. He seems fully prepared to go even further in slashing funding for our schools and other critical education programs. McCain’s proposals would specifically shortchange Wisconsin nearly $541 million.
Below is a list of the important education programs that will suffer under John McCain’s proposals:
Head start $13,253,368
Federal Pell Grants $53,700,000
Career & Technical Education State Grant $68,970,032
Special Education Grants to States $228,438,948
21st Century Community Learning Centers $22,143,900
Improving Teacher Quality State Grants $5,390,764
Grants to Local Educational Agencies $148,942,386
