Several key findings include:
Among policy insiders in Washington there is continued frustration with the Congress and The White House although recent action on the Hill has bumped approval while approval for the Administration slipped slightly.
Although action on Capitol Hill led to a small increase in the percentage of Insiders believing Elementary and Secondary Education Act reauthorization is possible in 2012 most see 2013 as a more likely timetable.
A small majority of Insiders think Congress will reach a deal to avert the automatic spending cuts triggered by the failure of the “Super Committee” to reach a deficit deal.
Insiders see Pell Grants as the most likely target of spending cuts and see Supplemental Education Services (government paid tutoring for students in low‐performing schools) as the private sector activity most at‐risk under the Senate passed Elementary and Secondary Education Act bill.
Insiders see targeted support for low‐income and minority students as likely to decrease under the Administration’s ESEA Blueprint, the Administration’s waiver plan, and the Senate ESEA reauthorization bill.
Insiders see some erosion in support for the Common Core, especially among state legislators (59%).
Joining us for the webinar was Katherine C. Haley, Assistant to the Speaker for Policy, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R‐OH)
