To address the economic crisis facing the country, the President signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) into law on February 17, 2009. The ARRA offers numerous opportunities for full-service school leaders and may provide the necessary funding to prevent significant decreases in operating budgets. One of the largest investments in ARRA is in education-related programs, which provide an opportunity to advance school reform and improvement efforts, and funding opportunities from a number of federal agencies can be used to support the major components of full-service schools. This brief provides full-service school leaders and their community partners with information to help them consider the funding sources in ARRA most closely aligned with the goals of full-service schools. Each of the ten funding sources highlighted were selected based on the applicability to full-service schools and their relevance to funding family supports, healthcare, education and out-of-school time initiatives. The brief provides a framework for identifying and assessing the funding opportunities and discusses considerations for how best to access and leverage these one-time resources. The information in this brief is organized into four sections: (1) Considerations for Accessing Funding; (2) Investments for Full-Service Schools; (3) Assessing Funding Opportunities; and (4) Preparing to Secure ARRA Funds. Additional resources to monitor the ARRA are included at the end of this brief. (Contains 3 footnotes.)
