American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009

"The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) that President Obama signed into law on February 17, 2009 creates a historic opportunity to save jobs, support states and school districts, and advance reforms and improvements that will create long-lasting results for our students and our nation, including early learning, K-12, and post-secondary education. The economic recovery funds are subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability."
