While Congress has established the overall FY07 funding level for education and designated additional funding to several education programs, the allocations for the majority of education programs have not yet been determined. Under the adopted resolution, the Education Department (like other affected departments) has 30 days to draft its FY07 spending plan. Usually, Congress submits a detailed conference report with appropriations bills to spell out how it wants departments to allocate funds. This year, due in large part to the fact that programs have been operating at FY06 levels since the start of FY07 (October 1, 2006), Congress has given discretion to the departments. Education Department officials have indicated that the programs not mentioned specifically in the budget resolution will likely receive the same level of funding as in FY06.
