The Ed Jobs program is a one-time Federal program that provides $10 billion in assistance to states, (including $167 million to Minnesota), to save or create education jobs for the 2010-11 school year. Jobs funded under this program include those that provide educational and related services for early childhood, elementary, and secondary education. The Ed Jobs program is authorized in Public Law No. 111-226, which was signed into law on August 10,2010.
The main goal of this program is to put people back to work. Our district will receive approximately $213,000. We received our preliminary allotment on Monday, August 30th. The staff and administration are putting a plan together for board approval, with the main focus on hiring staff to improve student achievement. These dollars may not be spent on supplies/materials or staff training.
