DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education assists States, school districts,
and institutions of higher education in providing a high-quality education to all students and
addressing the inequitable barriers underserved students face in education. The President's 2023
Budget for the Department of Education makes historic investments in the Nation's future
prosperity: increases aid for highpoverty schools; meets the needs of students with disabilities;
and expands access to higher education. The Budget requests $88.3 billion in discretionary
funding for the Department of Education, a $15.3 billion or 20.9-percent increase from the 2021
enacted level. The President's 2023 Budget: K-12 Education - Makes Historic Investments in
High-Poverty Schools. To advance the goal of providing a high-quality education to every
student, the Budget provides $36.5 billion for Title I, including $20.5 billion in discretionary
funding and $16 billion in mandatory funding, which more than doubles the program's funding
compared to the 2021 enacted level. Title I helps schools provide students in low-income
communities the learning opportunities and support they need to succeed. This substantial new
support for the program, which serves 25 million students in nearly 90 percent of school districts
across the Nation, would be a major step toward fulfilling the President's commitment to address
long-standing funding disparities between under-resourced schools-which disproportionately
serve students of color-and their wealthier counterparts. - Prioritizes the Health and Well-Being
of Students. Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to take a toll on the
physical and mental health of students, teachers, and school staff. Recognizing the profound
effect of physical and mental health on academic achievement, the Budget includes a $1 billion
investment to increase the number of counselors, nurses, school psychologists, social workers,
and other health professionals in schools. - Increases Support for Children with Disabilities. The
President is committed to ensuring that children and youth with disabilities receive the services
and support they need to thrive in school and graduate ready for college or a career. The Budget
provides an additional.
More money for education and no increase in the cigarette tax are two of the key highlights in the budget unveiled today by Indiana Senate Republicans.
The budget presentation document shared with the Franklin (MA) School Committee and the community at the meeting Feb 25, 2020. What isn't spelled out here is that the 'level service' number shown is roughly $200K more than the Total Expected Revenue for Franklin. And that would assume the Schools get all the increase, the Town side (police, fire, DPW, etc.) get nothing or in other words, a math problem with serious discussions to come in the next several months.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
