FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE LINKS
Special Information Posted on March 24, 2009:
Action by the Congress to approve federal stimulus funding to states has been approved and state departments of education along with governors are in the process of applying for and drawing down those funds, which may mitigate some of the economic challenges schools and school systems will face next school year.
