The Los Angeles Unified School District stands to receive an estimated $566 million in extra Title I and special education money--plus an undetermined amount of state stabilization money--from the federal stimulus package. This article reports that officials in hard-hit states like California are breathing a little easier now that they can use some of the more than $100 billion in emergency federal education support to plug holes in budgets for the current school year. But they still don't know how they will allocate money for the 2009-2010 school year, and whether the federal stimulus funds will be enough to prevent teacher layoffs, increased class sizes, and reductions in other services.
