Montana’s Congressman, Denny Rehberg, on Tuesday blasted Department of Education Secretary Margaret Spelling over funding levels in the president’s budget for rural education programs during a House Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.
Pres. Bush’s education reform, the “No Child Left Behind” act, “was supposed to assess which kids are falling through the cracks in America’s education system,” said Rehberg, a member of the Subcommittee. “Unfortunately, this administration has negated any successes by underfunding the programs proving to be the most effective. I fail to see why the administration continues to speak out of both sides of their mouths on this issue.”
During the hearing, Rehberg questioned Secretary Spelling about the cumulative impact of the president’s budget on the education of Montana’s rural and tribal students.
