This essential block grant is a direct hit at some of the most effective programs we have developed to encourage education reform in our communities. By terminating these programs we are sending a message to States and localities that programs such as the Safe and Drug Free Schools. schooltowork. educational technology grants. Goals 2000. and bilingual and immigrant education are not important and do not serve our students well. It also sends the message that as congressional representatives have no knowledge of the crucial roles these programs play in our schools and communities. However. most importantly the children who will be punished by this amendment are those who rely on these programs the most.
