The boxes on the right provide information on the stimulus funds in three categories:

DISTRICT RESOURCES: All the guidance, forms and information that local school districts need in order to receive, spend and report the usage of ARRA funds from the Georgia Department of Education.

COMMUNICATIONS: Information the Georgia Department of Education receives from the U.S. Department of Education, the Governor’s office and other external agencies or groups.
