How much stimulus money did the District receive?
The District received $64M million in stimulus funds. Approximately $23.7 million was from state stimulus funds, which went to cover operating costs to support our deficit in state funding. The remainder of the money is tied to special federal programs: Special Education and Title 1. Because these funds are being distributed as federal dollars, there are stipulations and regulations regarding their use. At this time we are still trying to determine the full affect these funds may have on AISD. Please see page 26 of the FY2011 Preliminary Budget guide for detailed information.
