FEDERAL STIMULUS INFORMATION RESOURCES
The Congress has passed major new initiatives that will soon be sending federal dollars to States- and then to local school district. These dollars will be available and directed for use in addressing a variety of educational needs, specifically including significant increases in funding for Title I. and Special Education Programs.
While details continue to develop as to how, when, and what we will be actually receiving, there are good resources available now to assist local school board members in understanding the basics of the federal stimulus plan.
The National School Boards Association has created a great new resource on its website- called the Economic Stimulus Resource Center. This Center provides summary information and FAQ’s on the various aspects of the stimulus program. This Center can be accessed by clicking here.
At the State level, there are good resources available through the following link. This link will provide you more State directed information.
As details continue to unfold, we here at NHSBA will continue to keep you updated – so please check here regularly for updates on the stimulus program.
Be Well and Stay In Touch!
