Stimulus funding

"A good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity — it is a prerequisite."

—President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides $100 billion for education, creating a historic opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of jobs, support states and school districts, and advance reforms and improvements that will create long-lasting results for our students and our nation including early learning, K–12, and postsecondary education.
(Department of Education, March 7, 2009)

In the coming months, administrators and educators will have to make decisions about ARRA investment efforts from the local to the state level while at the same time ensuring that:

• Funds are spent quickly to save and create jobs
• Funds are used to improve student achievement
• All funds are spent with the utmost transparency and accountability
• Funds are to be invested in ways that do not result in unsustainable continuing commitments after the funding expires (two years)
