On March 6, the U.S. Department of Education released a document that describes the principles and strategies that will guide the implementation of the funds it receives from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The department also released accompanying documents that provide initial guidance for three components of the ARRA funding: Title I, special education, and the State Stabilization Fund. It will issue separate guidance on other ARRA funds as they are developed.
