On February 15, 2011, President Obama announced his proposed FY 2012 budget (FY 2012 begins October 1, 2011). The President’s proposed budget would boost current funding for the 21st CCLC (21st Century Community Learning Centers program) by $100 million to $1.266 billion. The President proposes to permit states to make 21st CCLC grants for not only after-school programs, but also additional programs, including summer school, time for teacher planning and professional development, and adding time to the traditional school day or year.
