No. The SLDS program was authorized by the Educational Technical Assistance Act of 2002, Title II of the statute that created the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). SLDS grants were awarded to states in 2006, 2007, and 2009. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 provided another $245 million for SLDS grants to be awarded in 2010.
