What Would a Government Shutdown Do to Education?
Jayden Hardacre on April 6, 2011 in School StoriesFrom Education Week:
“Nancy Grasmick, the superintendent of schools in Maryland, who was on the job back in 1995 and 1996, the last time the federal government shut down, said it wasn’t that disruptive for state education.
“We were very concerned about the federal government shutdown, and followed the negotiations closely,” she said in an e-mail. “But, in the end, we didn’t find that the shutdown disrupted the work we do. The federal funding came through as promised and projected.”
One possible exception: Impact aid, which goes to school districts that are home to military bases and other federal programs. Impact aid is one major formula program in the Education Department that follows the same schedule as the regular federal fiscal year—it isn’t forward-funded.”
