On February 2, 2015 President Obama released his Fiscal Year 2016 Budget. "The budget that the President released today reflects this Administration's belief that every single child in this country deserves the opportunity to receive a strong education," said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "As demonstrated by the record high school graduation rate and record college enrollment rates for minority students, states, districts, educators, and students across the country are making real progress. The President's budget would continue and accelerate that progress."
