American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides approximately $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 post-secondary 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 LEA and 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 achievements
• All funds are spent with the utmost transparency and accountability
• Funds are to be invested in ways that will result in sustainable and continuing commitments after the funding expires (2 years)
