House Continuing Resolution Passes Senate Vote

On March 16, we reported that the House of Representatives passed House Joint Resolution 48, which would cut $6 billion from the 2011 discretionary budget and keep the government operating through April 8. The Senate passed the bill yesterday.

There are no additional cuts or program terminations for education within this bill. The President is expected to sign it today.

We’ll continue to keep you informed about new developments regarding proposed 2011 budget cuts and the 2012 budget. Visit our Legislation Page to view new documents as they become available.
