According to the National Education Association, if Congress fails to find a reasonable solution to the federal budget crisis, education funding will drop to drastically low levels not seen since 2003.
These cuts would equate to $4.8 billion, and more than 80,000 education jobs lost - and that's just what can be expected in 2013 alone. Critical programs that serve 9.35 million students including Title I grants, IDEA grants, School Improvement Grants and rural education funding are on the line.
