SAFE, DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS PROGRAMS FACING CUTS?
Morgan County public schools -- and all school districts in Colorado
- -- stand to lose 20 percent of their federal grant money for
programs for safe and drug-free schools in the 2006-07 school year.
The proposed cut statewide is about $91 million, said Janelle
Krueger, principal consultant on prevention initiatives for the
Colorado Department of Education.
The congressional conference committee reached an agreement on the
budget of $350 million. With a mandated one percent recision,
Krueger said, the funding level would be $346.5 million. President
Bush's budget had called for no funding, which would eliminate the program.
