TITLE __--EDUCATION TO SECURE TOMORROW
SEC. __. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Trust in Education to
Secure Tomorrow (TEST) for America's Future''.
SEC. __. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND POLICY; FINDINGS.
(a) Declaration of Purpose and Policy.--Congress declares
the following:
(1) The security of the Nation requires the fullest
development of the mental resources and technical skills of
its young men and women. The present national security
emergency demands that additional and more adequate
educational opportunities be made available. The defense of
this Nation depends upon the mastery of modern techniques
developed from complex scientific principles. It depends as
well upon the discovery and development of new principles,
new techniques, and new knowledge.
(2) We must increase our efforts to identify and educate
more of the talent of our Nation. This requires programs that
will correct as rapidly as possible the existing imbalances
in our educational system and will give assurance that no
student of ability will be denied an opportunity for higher
education because of financial need.
(3) Congress reaffirms the principle and declares that the
States and local communities have and must retain control
over and primary responsibility for public education. The
national interest requires, however, that the Federal
Government give assistance to education for programs which
are important to our defense.
(4) To meet the present emergency requires additional
effort at all levels of government. It is therefore the
purpose of this division to provide substantial assistance in
various forms to individuals, and to States and their
subdivisions, in order to insure trained manpower of
sufficient quality and quantity to meet the national defense
needs of the United States.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In fiscal year 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act of
2001 (Public Law 107-110) was funded at $22,195,000,000. The
Budget of the United States Government for Fiscal Year 2003,
as submitted to Congress, proposes to fund the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110) at $22,105,000,000.
(2) The size of the maximum Federal Pell Grant is
authorized to be $5,800, but because of insufficient funding,
in fiscal year 2002, the maximum Federal Pell Grant was only
$4,000.
(3) State budget deficits are having a pronounced effect on
State education funding and public college and university
tuition.
(4) In fiscal year 1946, the share of the Federal budget
dedicated to education was 10.4 percent. In fiscal year 2002,
the share of the Federal budget dedicated to education was
2.5 percent. On March 23, 1994, the United States Senate
unanimously resolved to increase to 10 percent by 2004 the
share of the Federal budget dedicated to education.
SEC. __. MEET THE PROMISE OF THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT.
In addition to any amounts otherwise appropriated under
this Act for part A of title I of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, the following sums are
appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003,
$4,650,000,000 for carrying out such part, to remain
available through September 30, 2004: Provided, That
$2,325,000,000 of the amount of funding appropriated under
this section for part A of title I of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 shall be distributed
according to section 1125 of such Act: Provided further, That
$2,325,000,000 of the amount of funding appropriated under
this section for part A of title I of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 shall be distributed
according to section 1125A of such Act.
SEC. __. HELP FOR FAMILIES PAYING FOR COLLEGE.
(a) Additional Appropriations.--The following sums are
appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003,
for an additional amount for ``Student Financial Assistance''
for carrying out subpart 1 of part A of title IV of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, $1,350,000,000 to remain
available through September 30, 2004.
(b) Maximum Pell Grant.--Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Act, the maximum Pell Grant for which a
student shall be eligible during award year 2003-2004 shall
be $4,500.
SEC. __. RESTORATION OF FUNDING FOR EDUCATION.
Section 601 of Division N shall not apply with respect to
programs funded under title III of Division G.
