Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

U.S. Department of Education (plus Head Start)


The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to produce a bill identifying budgetary savings of at least $1.2 trillion over ten years (2012-2021) has triggered an automatic spending reduction process that includes sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) to take effect on January 2, 2013, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011. For fiscal year 2013, automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will be applied to almost all federal education programs. The Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that nonexempt programs would be reduced by 7.8 pecent in 2013. A more detailed analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) indicates that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs and nonexempt mandatory programs would be reduced by 8.4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The impact of an across-the-board reduction under both CBO's and CBPP's estimates is presented here. Since appropriations for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1, 2012) will not be determined for many months, the estimates are based on current, or 2012, funding levels.

Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

Revisions to the Set of Tables Released January 31, 2012


The impetus for updating the set of tables made available at the end of January, 2012 was the release of a revised analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) of how the across-the-board cuts in the Budget Control Act would work. CBPP initially estimated that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs would be reduced by 9.1 percent in fiscal year 2013. CBPP has since revised their estimate downward to 8.4 percent. As a result, the NEA has revised its estimates as well. The Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) analysis remains the same, but the estimates generated by the NEA based on CBO's work have changed since the January release for several reasons. First, the NEA included discretionary programs only in the prior set of tables. Nonexempt mandatory programs have been added to the current set. Second, the U.S. Department of Education has made available updated state allocation and participation estimates by program through the release of the President's budget request for fiscal year 2013 and other reports. Third, updated data used in calculating potential job losses by state have been made available by various federal agencies and NEA's Research Department; and, the methodology has been refined as it pertains to selected programs in which educational services are delivered by entities other than local educational agencies, such as community-based organizations.

students currently being served by state, NEA calculated an average cost per student (per state). NEA then applied this average cost per student to the state's reduced funding level, post-sequestration, to identify the number of students that would remain unserved due to less funding. The exception to this approach was federal student financial assistance programs. NEA assumed that all students currently receiving aid would be affected to varying degrees by any reduction in federal support.

General Notes on "Potential Job Losses"


To derive the number of potential K-12 job losses, NEA used data by state from the U.S. Census and NEA Research on current expenditures; salaries, wages, and benefits; and the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. NEA calculated the percentage of current expenditures represented by salaries, wages, and benefits by state; and, an average cost per FTE employee by state. NEA applied the results from both calculations to determine by state the potential number of jobs that could be lost from sequestration; and, then aggregated the losses by state for a national total. A similar approach was taken for determining the potential loss of early childhood and postsecondary jobs, as well as those from other providers, such as community-based organizations. Sources for the various data sets include the National Center for Education Statistics, Office of Head Start, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Data for determining potential job losses at the U.S. Department of Education was drawn from the agency's FY 2013 Justifications of Appropriation Estimates to the Congress. Potential job losses reflect the mix of jobs specific to each program. For example, job losses under career and technical education reflect those at both high schools and postsecondary schools based on state allocations to each area.

General Notes on "Students Affected"


To derive the number of students affected, NEA first collected data on the number of students currently receiving services by state. Since it is not possible to know precisely how states, districts, and even schools would implement cuts in federal funding, NEA calculates an "equivalency" to isolate the number of students whose services would be eliminated as a result of sequestration in order to illustrate its impact. From the number of

Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

Migrant (ESEA I-C) and Neglected & Delinquent (ESEA I-D)


The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to produce a bill identifying budgetary savings of at least $1.2 trillion over ten years (2012-2021) has triggered an automatic spending reduction process that includes sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) to take effect on January 2, 2013, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011. For fiscal year 2013, automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will be applied to almost all federal education programs. The Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that nonexempt programs would be reduced by 7.8 pecent in 2013. A more detailed analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) indicates that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs and nonexempt mandatory programs would be reduced by 8.4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The impact of an across-the-board reduction under both CBO's and CBPP's estimates is presented here. Since appropriations for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1, 2012) will not be determined for many months, the estimates are based on current, or 2012, funding levels.

Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

Education for Homeless Children & Youths (MVHAA Title VII-B)


The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to produce a bill identifying budgetary savings of at least $1.2 trillion over ten years (2012-2021) has triggered an automatic spending reduction process that includes sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) to take effect on January 2, 2013, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011. For fiscal year 2013, automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will be applied to almost all federal education programs. The Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that nonexempt programs would be reduced by 7.8 pecent in 2013. A more detailed analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) indicates that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs and nonexempt mandatory programs would be reduced by 8.4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The impact of an across-the-board reduction under both CBO's and CBPP's estimates is presented here. Since appropriations for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1, 2012) will not be determined for many months, the estimates are based on current, or 2012, funding levels.

Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

Special Education Grants to States (IDEA Part B-611)


The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to produce a bill identifying budgetary savings of at least $1.2 trillion over ten years (2012-2021) has triggered an automatic spending reduction process that includes sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) to take effect on January 2, 2013, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011. For fiscal year 2013, automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will be applied to almost all federal education programs. The Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that nonexempt programs would be reduced by 7.8 pecent in 2013. A more detailed analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) indicates that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs and nonexempt mandatory programs would be reduced by 8.4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The impact of an across-the-board reduction under both CBO's and CBPP's estimates is presented here. Since appropriations for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1, 2012) will not be determined for many months, the estimates are based on current, or 2012, funding levels.

Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

Career & Technical Education State Grants (Carl D. Perkins CTEA Title I)
The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to produce a bill identifying budgetary savings of at least $1.2 trillion over ten years (2012-2021) has triggered an automatic spending reduction process that includes sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) to take effect on January 2, 2013, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011. For fiscal year 2013, automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will be applied to almost all federal education programs. The Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that nonexempt programs would be reduced by 7.8 pecent in 2013. A more detailed analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) indicates that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs and nonexempt mandatory programs would be reduced by 8.4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The impact of an across-the-board reduction under both CBO's and CBPP's estimates is presented here. Since appropriations for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1, 2012) will not be determined for many months, the estimates are based on current, or 2012, funding levels.

Impact of Sequestration on Federal Education Programs

Federal Work-Study (HEA IV-C)


The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to produce a bill identifying budgetary savings of at least $1.2 trillion over ten years (2012-2021) has triggered an automatic spending reduction process that includes sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) to take effect on January 2, 2013, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011. For fiscal year 2013, automatic, across-the-board budget cuts will be applied to almost all federal education programs. The Congressional

Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that nonexempt programs would be reduced by 7.8 pecent in 2013. A more detailed analysis conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) indicates that nonexempt, nondefense discretionary programs and nonexempt mandatory programs would be reduced by 8.4 percent and 8 percent, respectively. The impact of an across-the-board reduction under both CBO's and CBPP's estimates is presented here. Since appropriations for fiscal year 2013 (which begins on October 1, 2012) will not be determined for many months, the estimates are based on current, or 2012, funding levels.
