Wondering about funding for your RtI program? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides approximately 100 billion dollars to save and create jobs and to reform education through various funding streams, including: Part B of IDEA (IDEA Part B); Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA); and the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF). This short-term influx of additional funding is a historic opportunity to improve American education. This document provides guidance on possible uses of IDEA Part B ARRA funds that are likely to have an impact on student learning outcomes and school reform.
