> I watched this, and it was informative about the Federal Budget request for 2018. The high points include these:
> - a 13% cut
> - increase in charter school funding
> - Pell is stable and fully funded for the next 8 years
> - grant funding for HBCUs, minority serving programs of Title IIII and V are strengthened
> - ESEA  was discontinued

> The focus throughout the webinar was on low income children. One question was about Upward Bound continued finding, and they said they would have to defer the answer till next week.
> 
> Considering all these cuts is premature in my opinion, based on the congressional response to the Federal 2017 budget. They basically ignored the administrative recommended cuts. I expect the actual 2018 budget will be significantly different than the request.
