American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
Education
Purpose of ARRA
The overall goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA) are to stimulate the economy in the short-term
and invest in education and other essential public services to
ensure the long-term economic health of our nation. The ARRA
provides approximately $100 billion for education, creating an
historic opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of jobs,
support states and school districts, and advance reforms and
improvements that will create longâ€lasting results for our
students and our nation including early learning, K-12, and
postâ€secondary education. This historic infusion of funds is
temporary. Depending on the program, these funds are available
for only two to three years. These funds should be invested in
ways that do not result in unsustainable continuing commitments
after the funding expires.
