Written by: Alan Whisman

According to key sources in the US Department of Education, ARRA EETT funds are slated to be released to the states by July 15th pending approval of the guidelines by OMB. School districts will begin receiving the $650 million soon after based on the states process for distributing federal funds.

EETT Funding Timeline

According to Hillary Goldman, ISTE Director of Government Affairs, the $650 million ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) for EETT (Enhancing Education Through Technology) funding will be distributed to the states and then to the districts this summer. Earlier information from the USDOE stated the money would not flow to the states until fall of 2009. This is great news as districts will now be able to better prepare for the coming school year.
