Education officials threaten to cut Montana funds

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Federal education officials are warning that Montana must get in line with its No Child Left Behind benchmarks by Aug. 15 or risk losing some of its funding.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan sent Montana education superintendent Denise Juneau a letter on July 1, followed by a formal notice, saying the state is out of compliance with its requirements for determining Montana schools' adequate yearly progress for the 2010-11 school year.

The written notice says the state has until Aug. 15 to comply with the annual measurable objectives or the Education Department could withhold Montana's Title I, Part A funds.

Juneau said Friday she wants clarification as to whether the funding cuts would come from administrative or classroom programs, and how much would be cut, before deciding what to do.
