American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009. Education-related Stimulus Appropriations.
E N D
American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 Education-related Stimulus Appropriations
“Typically, school district spending on textbooks, supplemental resources, and technology ranges from 2 to 4 percent of [a school’s] overall budget… The stimulus could boost spending in these areas into a range of 5 to 10 percent. ….5 to 10 percent of $100 billion is a pretty large infusion into this market.” Textbook publisher, quoted in Education Week, May 13, 2009
Where are the opportunities? • Companies in search of education-related opportunities are focusing on 3 main areas: • Products that are good candidates for one-time funding (such as technology, computers, data systems) • Services (such as how to use stimulus funding to turn around a failing school) • Consulting (how to get even more stimulus dollars)
Where are the opportunities? • Companies that offer help and materials for special education and for struggling schools could benefit the most, since special education and Title I programs are getting a combined $15 billion nationally from the stimulus ($492 million in Indiana) • Because most school districts are expected to spend their funding within the next 6-8 months, existing companies with solid track records may prevail over start-ups.
Some things you want to know about ARRA… • When will the money begin flowing? • Who is eligible to receive education stimulus funds? • How do I get my share of the stimulus money?
