UNI BUDGET UPDATE
The House Appropriations Committee just passed the education budget without funding for the Math & Science Initiative. I've talked to several legislators recently and they have indicated that our grassroots effort is starting to have an effect. PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR LEGISLATORS!
From here, the bill will move on to the House floor where it will be debated by the full chamber. Once it passes the House, it moves on to the Senate Appropriations Committee and the then the full Senate floor.
I would recommend contacting your local Representatives and Senators along with members of the Senate Appropriations Committee. As always, I'll keep you posted as the events unfold.
