Legislative Impact Update

In the April/May issue of CenterWork, we carried a "Legislative Impact Alert," informing our readers that the Congress was considering proposals that could change the federal role in education and drastically alter the funding investment. At that time, there was a rescission bill which would have eliminated funding for a number of programs, including the National Center for Research in Vocational Education (NCRVE). However, NCRVE funding was later restored by the Senate and was retained during the joint conference committee meeting between the House and Senate. In addition, the President vetoed the rescission bill.

Thus, NCRVE will continue to engage in leading-edge research, development, dissemination, and technical assistance/outreach initiatives. If NCRVE can be of assistance to you, please contact us by calling (800) (old phone deleted) or by writing to:

National Center for Research in Vocational Education
