  13. 13-14 outlook… • Few things to consider first….

  14. Impacts on allocations… • 2011 Census information – released December 2012 • PA increased only a small percentage • 2010 poverty rate: 17.14% • 2011 poverty rate: 17.31% • Census poor increased slightly, but our percentage of poverty of the whole country decreased. • Other states had large increases: Hawaii, Connecticut, Alaska. • Less funding available to serve the same number of states. • We will see a decrease in 2013-14 Title I funds.

  15. 13-14 projections • Updated census released December 2012 • PA & the entire country is poorer. • Less funds to share with same amount of states. • PA poverty increased by just a bit, but so did others. • We will see a decrease in 2013-14 Title I funds.

  16. Sequestration • It’s actually happening… • Will impact 2013-14 allocations of the grants we administer. • Approximately 5% reduction to Education funds as of now. • Will occur when we receive preliminary allocations from USDE. • Should have allocations from USDE by early May. • $532 million projected for 2013-14. • With new census info & sequestration impact, PA loses over $40 million of Title I funding.

  17. Impacts… • Staff & student • Fewer students served • Fewer staff to support programs • Smaller programs • Carryover waiver relief • USDE just announced that SEAs could apply for Title IA carryover flexibility. • 15% cap waiver– more than 1 in 3 year cycle.

  18. President’s budgetproposal for education

  19. priorities… • $71 billion requested – increase of 4% from PY. • Almost 75% of that money would go to Special Education, financial aid to college students & Title I. • The rest is slated for K-12 reform, preschool & services for poverty stricken students. • The President has set a goal of making America, once again, first in the world in college completion – today we rank 14th.

Priorities… • Early learning: Making quality preschool available for all 4-year-olds - • U.S. ranks 28th in preschool enrollment • K-12: Deepening reform in key strategic areas • High School Redesign and Career Readiness • Strengthening Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education • Teachers and Leaders • School Safety

  21. Priorities… • Making college affordable • Approximately 75% of the fastest-growing occupations require more education and training than a high school diploma. • Only 50% of students who begin college finish. • For low-income students – college completion rate is less than one in 10. • Ladders of opportunity • Comprehensive, coordinated approaches to improving support for students who live in communities of concentrated poverty.
