(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the House-Senate education conference committee voted to advance the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. This legislation will replace No Child Left Behind and restore local control in K-12 education. Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Glenbeulah) urged fellow conference committee members to support his amendment keeping funding at current levels until 2020. The amendment passed the House conference committee 9-8, but failed in the Senate conference committee 6-16.

“At a time when government spending is completely out-of-control, we need to make fiscal responsibility a top priority. For too long our nation’s leaders have failed to act like adults and balance our nation’s budget. This amendment is the first step in restoring sanity in the budgeting process.”

U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman is serving his first term representing Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Contact his Washington, D.C., office at (202) 225-2476, or online at grothman.house.gov.
