This week, the Senate Appropriations Committee voted to advance the chamber’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education funding bill. The Senate bill proposes to maintain current levels of funding for the Perkins Basic State Grant at $1.192 billion and CTE National Programs at $7.4 million. The Senate measure significantly differs from the FY 2019 education funding bill that is currently being considered by the House, which proposes to increase the Perkins Basic State Grant by $102 million above the current level—bringing the total to nearly $1.3 billion. As we reported in April, 38 Senators signed a letter requesting $1.3 billion for Perkins state grants in FY 2019. It is an important time to let your Senators know that you want to see this much-needed increase in Perkins funding. Please take a few minutes to contact your Members of Congress through our CTE Action Center.
