The Senate cleared a three-bill spending package Thursday for President Donald Trump’s signature, completing a fraction of government funding measures necessary to avert another shutdown ahead of the month-end deadline.

Congressional negotiators in both parties released a massive bill aimed at fully funding the government ahead of a shutdown deadline on Jan. 30.

The Senate passed a trio of spending bills in a roughly $174 billion package on Thursday afternoon, sending it to President Donald Trump's desk.

The Trump administration last May proposed to shrink federal K-12 investments by roughly $7 billion and eliminate or consolidate dozens of decades-old education grant programs. District leaders and their advocates have spent the ensuing months lobbying fiercely against those changes.

Lawmakers in both the House and Senate are in crunch time. So far, Congress has passed six of the 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government. The House last week passed an additional two-bill package known as a minibus that would fund the State Department and the Treasury Department.

In a rebuff of the Trump administration’s proposal to drastically cut funding for federal science agencies, the Senate voted on Thursday to provide billions more to NOAA, NASA and the National Science Foundation than the president had asked for.
