We have used stimulus funds to save jobs. Our FY 2010 budget includes nearly $40 million in state stabilization funds. The remaining federal titles funds have restrictions upon their use, and stimulus dollars are not available on an on-going basis. School districts were given clear direction by the U.S. Department of Education to use these funds on one-time expenditures, such as equipment and computer programs, but not to supplement teacher salaries.
