Playground Funding Sources
In an effort to streamline the Department of Education (USDE)'s programs
and increase effectiveness, the President's FY 2011 budget contains major
changes to the PEP grant program. According
to the
USDE Website ,
the President's budget proposes to eliminate six programs and consolidate
38 others into 11 new authorities. The PEP program,
along with five other programs, would be consolidated into a new authority
called "Successful, Safe and Healthy Students."
This new authority comes with a budget request of $410 million, more
than all six of the individual program budgets combined in FY 2010. The
Department plans to direct funding "to proven or
promising practices while providing greater support and technical assistance
to grantees."
