[full-text, 34 pages]
Summary
On January 15, 2009, the House Committee on Appropriations released a draft version of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The primary purposes of the act
focus on promoting economic recovery, assisting those most affected by the recession, improving
economic efficiency by "spurring technological advances in science and health," investing in
infrastructure, and stabilizing state and local government budgets. As part of this act, funds would
be provided to several existing education programs administered by the U.S. Department of
Education (ED), including programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
(ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The ARRA would also
create new programs that would support school construction at the elementary, secondary, and
postsecondary education levels and provide general funds for education to support state fiscal
stabilization.
This report provides a brief overview of the key provisions related to education programs that are
or would be administered by ED that were included in the act under Title IX (Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education) and Title XII (State Fiscal Stabilization Fund). It also provides
estimates of state grants for programs for which these estimates are relevant and for which data
needed to produce the estimates are available.
The report will be updated as warranted by legislative action.
