American Recovery & Reinvestment Act

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act | Appropriations | Authorizations | Special Issues

With the passage and signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, we have reached a pivotal moment in the global economic crisis – one filled with urgent monumental challenges as well as history-making opportunities.

For education, in particular, the President and Congress have injected desperately needed funds for our nation’s schools as well as stimulated a new era of innovation in American education. Through the act, states and localities will have new resources to turn the page on past efforts and implement a series of incentive-driven reforms and improvements.

Knowledge Alliance members are uniquely positioned to bring research-based solutions to bear upon persistent education problems, and look forward to helping the Administration and the Congress implement the ARRA in creative and dynamic ways--learn about these efforts below.
