In my State of California alone. the administration seeks to cut $56.4 million in child nutrition programs. That is approximately a 14percent reduction in the total program. California. which shoulders the burden of assimilating between 30 and 40 percent of all the Nations immigrants and refugees. would have the Emergency Immigrant Education Assistance Program reduced by $13 million and the Transition Program for Refugee Children entirely eliminated. Under proposed changes in migrant education eligibility requirements California would lose $10.9 million15 percent of current fundingfor migrant education. Impact aid. which compensates a school district for losses in local property tax revenue due to the existence of a Federal military installation. would be terminated. The loss to California would be $9 million.
