Even Start ? NCFL Partner Programs Yield Positive Results

Prompted by the proposed federal budget cuts to Even Start funding for
fiscal year 2003, The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) examined
outcome data collected from 17 Even Start programs that have partnered with
NCFL between 1999-2001. The findings of this analysis are consistent with
NCFL's historical data which shows that programs with strong implementation
yield results and success for multiple generations.
Visit http://www.famlit.org/research/evenstart.htm to see the analysis of
this data.



Even Start ? Funding for Fiscal Year 2003 Still in Question

Congress recently adjourned having not finished all of the annual
appropriations measures for fiscal year 2003.  As a result, Even Start
funding for fiscal year 2003 will be decided when the 108th Congress
convenes in January. Between now and January, it is important that Even
Start supporters continue to contact Members of Congress and encourage them
not to cut funding for Even Start.
