Governor Jan Brewer has announced that Arizona’s application for the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund has been approved by the US Education Department. More than $680 million is now available for Arizona under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. An additional $335 million will be available this fall.
The money will be used to help keep teachers employed, in spite of deep budget cuts at the state level. The funds will also be used to improve teacher quality, upgrade assessment methods and turn around underperforming schools.
