Economic Stimulus Resources: What Will Your District Get?

You can now find out how much money is coming to your district under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, courtesy of a new table from the House Committee on Education and Labor showing district allocations for Title I and IDEA, Part B, for all states (PDF, 1.7 MB). (Tip: To locate your district, type your district's name into the "Find" field of your PDF reader and press "Enter" to search the document.)

Also, the U.S. Department of Education has posted a stimulus resource page to help schools determine how they can use state stabilization dollars under the ARRA. The law specifies that schools use the funding for modernization, renovation, and repair, and the page provides guidance on how to plan for these projects.

Please note, ASCD has a comprehensive list of economic stimulus resources for educators, including tables showing the state allocations for Title I, IDEA, education-related funding in the State Stabilization Fund, and Education Technology State Grants. The resources also include a short summary of the State Stabilization Fund and the money in it dedicated for education. We will continue to update the page to reflect the latest information available.

Obama Spotlights Education in Speech to Congress
 
President Barack Obama used his nearly hour-long first congressional address to pledge to curb dropout rates, increase college-going rates, and fund programs that help close the achievement gap and improve teacher performance.
 
In asking for a $787 billion stimulus package that included some $115 billion in education aid, Mr. Obama highlighted education reform along with energy and health care in a trio of critical issues that he says will shape the nation’s economic future.
