The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Helping States and School Districts Nationwide
Dear Colleagues,
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides enormous opportunities to improve the lives of infants, children, and youth across the nation. ARRA is an encouraging commitment to the well-being and education of our students, and holds the promise of increasing academic achievement for all. It is our collective responsibility to help fulfill that promise by ensuring that ARRA funds are used to advance education reform.
For over 40 years, WestEd has served the education community at national, state, and local levels. We are committed to drawing from our evidence-based research and knowledge of best practices to help you in areas that are relevant both to ARRA and your specific needs.
I invite you to look through our website and contact us with any questions you may have about the effective use of ARRA funds. I am excited by the opportunities presented by this historic legislation, and look forward to partnering with you to improve education for all our students.
