Tell Congress to Remember Children and Education in New "Emergency" Funding Legislation. This week, President Bush vetoed legislation to provide emergency funding for the current fiscal year. While the veto was based on opposition to timelines for withdrawal of troops from Iraq, the legislation also contained funding for other critical priorities. Emergency resources for two important programs—the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act and the State Children's Health Insurance program (SCHIP)—were included in the vetoed bill. Congress now goes back to the drawing board to craft a new bill and it is critical that they include funding for these priorities:
The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act has made a real difference for schools in rural, timber-dependent counties by ensuring them a consistent funding stream. Prior to implementation of this program, schools in heavily timbered counties were in crisis, experiencing dramatic reductions in funding. The program has restored critical educational services for students in rural schools and prevented the closure of numerous isolated rural schools. Unfortunately, the program expired at the end of 2006 and a number of counties around the country have already begun sending out pink slips notifying employees of potential layoffs.
SCHIP funds grants to states to help provide health care for low-income children. The National Governors Association has warned that unless Congress acts immediately to address funding shortfalls, continued coverage for many children will be jeopardized.
Contact Your Representative in Congress Today
Tell the House and Senate to include emergency funding for the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act and the State Children's Health Insurance program in any new emergency legislation for FY07.

Victory! House Passes Head Start Reauthorization Bill
On May 2, the House overwhelmingly passed positive legislation to reauthorize the Head Start program. The NEA-supported Improving Head Start Act of 2007 (H.R. 1429) increases Head Start funding, provides greater focus on professional development for Head Start staff, and rejects proposals from prior Congresses to tie funding to test results of very young children. The House also rejected NEA-opposed efforts to repeal long-standing civil rights protections that prevent Head Start providers from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of religion.

Another Victory! House Passes Hate Crimes Bill
On May 3, the House passed the NEA-supported Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (H.R. 1592), which would expand the definition of federal hate crimes and allow federal authorities to assist state and local enforcement efforts.
