What's New
2009 Budget Update
Many budget meetings and hearings scheduled to take place over the last couple of weeks were cancelled because of the Pope’s visit to Washington, DC. The House and Senate conferees have not yet reached an agreement negotiating the differences between the budget resolution bills. If they do not come to an agreement, then a “deeming resolution” may be published, which is a document that provides funding guidance to the appropriations committees.
The FY 2009 appropriations bills will probably not be acted on until summer or early fall.
2008 Membership Reminder
Several weeks ago, all Parent Centers should have received a National Coalition of Parent Centers membership form from IN*SOURCE, NCPC’s fiscal agent. If you have not contributed yet in 2008, please consider doing so. The National Coalition of Parent Centers needs your financial support to do the work we do and represent Parent Centers in DC! Please contact Rich Burden at (574) 234-7101 or rburden@insource.org if you would like an invoice. A contribution form is attached to this email.
