House Stimulus Bill Includes Roughly $80 Billion for Education
Your Voices are Being Heard!
Thank you so much for all your calls and e-mails! Your voices are being heard!
The stimulus bill being debated by the House of Representatives right now contains roughly $80 billion in funding for schools. The funds will flow through federal formulas directly to schools and indirectly through a state stabilization fund. If a state chooses to receive money from the stabilization fund they are required to send more than 60 percent of the money directly to schools. Between the federal aid formulas and the state stabilization funds, resources are available for site coordinators.
The Senate bill is under consideration at the Committee level and will move to the Senate floor later this week or next week.
CIS will be providing an analysis of both the House and Senate bills as well as information on accessing these funds locally over the next few weeks.
Thank you so much for all of your efforts to convince the House to include money for site coordinators. If you have not yet e-mailed or called your Senators, you still have time. Please click here to send an e-mail.
