K-12 ARRA Education Funds Resource Guide
“In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity—it is a pre-requisite.”
- President Barack Obama
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) that Congress passed in February provides $787 billion stimulus package and an unprecedented $115 billion for education—funneling funds into public schools, universities and early childhood programs with the goal of using short-term investments to achieve sustainable, long-term results.
In this special Educator Resource Guide, we’ve compiled information from various sources to assist administrators in understanding the funds available to them.
