FY05 IDEA Funding

The President's proposed budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 [Oct. 1, 2004 - Sept. 30, 2005] would bring the federal share of IDEA funding only to 20 percent, or one half the 40 percent promised when the legislation was first enacted in 1975. Two bills in Congress seek to remedy this shortfall.

S. 939, IDEA Full Funding Act of 2003

Senators Hagel (R-NE) and Harkin (D-IA) have introduced S. 939 to fully fund IDEA in eight years. See how this bill would benefit your state if it became law.
