Reading First wouldn’t get any money from the Senate, Alyson Klein reports in from the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee markup.
The program also has a ‘0' in its column in the bill awaiting action in House Appropriations Committee on Thursday.
Just two years ago, Reading First received $1 billion. Now, with no money in either chamber’s bill, the program’s future looks grim.
Alyson is hard at work on a story that will appear on edweek.org later today.
