Summary:
The 107th Congress considered and approved reauthorization legislation to extend and amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA). Also, legislation to make FY2002 appropriations to continue funding for the program was approved. The President signed both measures into law. For FY2003, the President proposed $644,250,000 for the SDFSC program, which is a $102,500,000 decrease from the FY2002 appropriation, eliminating three activities under national programs mentoring, community services for expelled or suspended students, and alcohol abuse reduction. The Senate Appropriations Committee recommended for FY2003 (S.Rept. 107-216), $654,250,000 ($10 million more than the budget request) to continue funding for the SDFSC program. No final action has yet occurred on FY2003 funding. This report will be updated to reflect relevant legislative and/or executive branch activities.
