Abstract | The federal stimulus package provides badly needed aid to school districts, allowing them to avoid massive staff and teacher layoffs and injecting them with a healthy dose of funds for many programs ranging from technology to renovation work. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which President Barack Obama signed on Feb.17, provides about $100 billion to education, including $10 billion in Title money, $12.2 billion for special education, and up to $53.6 billion in "state stabilization funds" to help offset states' education budget cuts. This article provides a breakdown of items in the plan. Although there are benefits and drawbacks in ARRA, the overall message for districts is that this is a one-time lifeline. Daniel A. Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators, advises to use it and use it well. (ERIC). |
