      "title": "Child Care Issues in the 108th Congress",
      "summary": "The 108th Congress inherited several child care-related agenda items from the previous\nCongress,\nincluding tasks of providing FY2003 appropriations for many child care-related programs and the\nreauthorization of both the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and the welfare\nblock grant (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). The appropriations task was\ncompleted, whereas the issue of reauthorizing CCDBG and TANF will again spill over, into the\nhands of the 109th Congress.\n \n FY2003 appropriations were provided in the form of the Consolidated Appropriations\nResolution 2003, signed into law ( P.L. 108-7 ) on February 20, 2003. Among other funding, the law\nincluded $2.1 billion in discretionary funds for the CCDBG and $6.668 billion for Head Start. \nMandatory child care funding and TANF block grant funding (both of which expired at the end of\nFY2002) have been provided at the FY2002 level via a series of temporary extensions, as the\nprograms await reauthorization. The 109th Congress will confront an additional extension if\nreauthorization legislation is not passed before March 31, 2005.\n Two weeks prior to the signing of the FY2003 appropriations law, the Administration released\nits budget request for FY2004. It proposed to maintain level funding for the CCDBG, TANF, and\nthe Social Services Block Grant (SSBG), while providing increases for Head Start, Early Reading\nFirst, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) grants for infants and families. The\nFY2004 budget requested cuts in funding for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers and\nEven Start.\n \n The President\u2019s FY2004 budget also included proposals to transfer the Head Start\nprogram from\nHHS to the Department of Education, and to offer states the opportunity to administer the Head Start\nprogram, both in the context of the program\u2019s anticipated reauthorization, which, like that\nof\nCCDBG and TANF, did not occur during the 108th Congress. The House-passed reauthorization\nbill\n( H.R. 2210 ) did not include the transfer proposal, but it did propose an eight-state\ndemonstration program. The Senate HELP committee-reported bill ( S. 1940 ) contained\nneither the transfer nor the state demonstration proposals, and differed markedly from the\nHouse-passed bill. A Strategic Teacher Education Program and a national reporting system for\nassessing Head Start programs\u2019 effectiveness with respect to promoting school readiness\nwere\nimplemented without legislative action.\n \n The FY2004 appropriations bill was not signed into law ( P.L. 108-199 ) until 10 days before the\nPresident\u2019s FY2005 budget was released. FY2004 appropriations generally maintained the\nprior\nyear\u2019s funding, with Head Start and Early Reading First receiving increases. For FY2005,\nthe\nPresident requested level funding for the CCDBG, SSBG, 21stCCLC and IDEA preschool; increases\nfor Head Start, Early Reading First, and IDEA infants and families; and no funding for the Early\nLearning Fund and Even Start. Final FY2005 appropriations mirrored only a portion of the proposed\nincreases, and did not eliminate the latter two programs.",
