Federal Economic Stimulus

One of the items included in the federal economic stimulus bill that's making its' way through the US Congress is money for public education. Here is a handy PDF file that shows what each school district in Kansas would receive if this bill was enacted into law in its current form. USD 491 would receive over $250,000 for the current fiscal year and over $450,000 over two years. These funds would help to ensure that districts could continue to provide adequate education for at-risk and disabled students.

The bill passed the House yesterday on a vote of 244-188.
