[LM_NET] GEN, HIT: Title V in 2005 Federal Budget

[Joanne Shawhan <jshawhan@NYCAP.RR.COM>]

Dear Group,

My question:
"Does anyone know what the funding for the Title V (Aid to School Libraries) will 
be in the new Federal budget?  My district is working on the budgets for next year 
and I would like to be able to pass the information on to the powers that be."

I received two helpful answers:
"Concerning Title V funding for the 2005-06 school year, see the news
story at:
http://www.nsba.org/site/doc_sbn.asp?TRACKID=&VID=55&CID=682&DID=34910"


"Title V was to be cut totally. However, Congress decided districts could
just transfer funds into that category any way so only cut it about 33%.
That means each district, on average, will receive about 66% of this year's
allocation. I don't know if this is the same information others have fed you
or not - but I do the Federal Programs in my district and that is what we
were told."


Thanks very much for useful information.  I will make sure my District's 
adminstrators know about this.

Joanne
