  3. What We Know – Very Little • The Process • Congress passes • President signs • Federal Departments make rules • State Departments make rules • Finally arrives at LEAs

  4. What We Know – Very Little • There will be strings • Short turn-around time to apply for some funding (get ideas ready) • Funding is only for two years

  5. What We Know – For Sure • $13 billion for Title 1 help for disadvantaged students; • $53.6 billion for the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, which includes $39.5 billion for helping to stave off cutbacks or for school modernization, and $8.8 billion for "high priority needs such as public safety and other critical services, which may include education and for modernization, renovation and repairs of public school facilities and institutions of higher education facilities";

  6. What We Know – For Sure • $12.2 billion for IDEA; • $7.2 billion for "broadband and wireless services in underserved areas" for business, healthcare, and education sectors; • $2.1 billion for Head Start and Early Head Start; • $250 million for competitive grants targeted toward the design and development of student achievement data analytics; • $70 million in grants for the education (among other things) of homeless kids;

  7. What We Know – For Sure • $100 million for teacher workforce "modernization"; • $130 million to support grants and loans for rural facilities, including education facilities; and • $200 million for, among other things, a national assessment of the value of "performance"-based compensation systems.

  8. Title IID • Original $1 billion down to $650 million. • The new allocation is less than the $696 million funding level set back in 2004 but more than double the level set in recent years. • The new funding, under the heading "School Improvement Programs," is being allocated to Title II, Part D known as "Enhancing Education Through Technology." EETT

  9. After School • $2 billion for the Child Care and Development Block Grant(CCDBG); about 1/3 of this will be used to support children in afterschool programs.  • $10 billion for Title I to help disadvantaged students reach high academic standards—some of these funds can be used to support afterschool programs. • $3 billion for School Improvement which will result in higher quality facilities for the many afterschool programs operating in schools.  • $1.2 billionthrough the Workforce Investment Act that is designated specifically for creating summer jobs for youth, expanding staffing opportunities for afterschool programs. • $50 millionfor YouthBuild which offers education and occupational training to at-risk youth for building affordable housing which could benefit afterschool programs serving older youth. • $160 millionfor AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps VISTA programs, a key staffing component for afterschool programs.

  10. What We Do Not Know • There may (will) be more funding that schools can apply for fro different agencies • There will strings attached • DESE and General Assembly may be able to make additional rules • US Department of Education may (will) be making rules (New hires may have to be locally funded for X years after Stimulus funding)

  11. What We Do Not Know • How much money will actually reach US – the LEAs • What current or new rules (strings) will be attached to which funding • When we will know about funding, rules, almost anything

  12. What We Know – For Sure • Some money will be entitlement • Some money will competitive • Short time frame to apply for competitive • May need to be registered with a DUNS number to apply for some of the federal money
