- W277745460 abstract "IN TALKIN' WORLD WAR III BLUES, Bob Dylan dreams he is walking in World War III. He talks to a psychiatrist, who reveals he has been having a similar dream. Dylan notes, Now it seems/Everybody's having them dreams. It's a thought that sprang to mind during my recent trip to Washington, DC, to meet with the board of the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA; www.setda.org), and visit with people at the Department of Education and with congressional staffers. The meetings focused on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), also known as the economic stimulus package. Of course, the nightmare striking so many education leaders in the nation's capital right now is not quite as foreboding as what Dylan sang about. But like the song says, everybody is having the same one: The year is 2011, and unopened boxes of computers and software are stacked in the backs of classrooms across America--technology purchased with ARRA money, wasting away, unused. This is not an unreasonable fear. The more than $10 billion in Title I grants alone provided to schools by the stimulus bill is a daunting amount of money to spend--not to mention the nearly $12 billion in funding for the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and $55 billion in state stabilization money. And this is in addition to the fiscal year 2009 Title I funds that districts were already slated to receive. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The first 50 percent of the ARRA Title I money reached the states by the end of last month, and, encouraged by the DoE, many states will soon be forwarding the money along to school districts. Educators must not only spend the money prudently but spend it quickly. According to guidelines submitted by the DoE, the absence of a waiver, an LEA [local educational agency] must obligate 85 percent of its total FY 2009 Title I, Part A, funds (including ARRA funds) by Sept. 30, 2010. Any remaining FY 2009 Title I, Part A, funds will be available for obligation until Sept. 30, 2011. In simple terms, school districts have a little more than two years to unload the money they're getting. Under the terms of ARRA, districts must use federal money to supplement--not supplant-the state or local funding used to support their educational programs. In other words, Title I funds must be used to pay for goods and services that are not being financed by local or state money. As a result, Title I recipients will be looking for fresh ways to spend their share of the stimulus funds. To many of them, technology seems to be a logical place to start: It's an excellent one-time purchase that can fulfill the requirement of spending money quickly, and it doesn't have to be sustained beyond the two years of the stimulus package. Any educator seasoned in the use of technology knows it's more complicated than that. Every piece of technology purchased also needs to be accompanied by technical support, as well as training in how to use it and how to use it successfully with students. And almost every technology purchase will put demands on school and district networks. Finally, technologies don't last forever. Districts that plan well refresh their computers every three to five years. Today's technology purchases will need to be upgraded or replaced soon enough. Fortunately, there is help on the horizon, starting with the DoE guidelines that accompany the ARRA funding and provide districts with ideas on how to best spend their portion of the Title I pot. These guidelines, available at www.ed.gov, provide eight examples of potential uses of the Title I, Part A, recovery funds that are allowable under Title I and consistent with ARRA principles. While these are only examples, Title I coordinators should pay attention to the spirit of what the DoE is suggesting. One example addresses programs for students to meet outside of the normal school day, before or after school, during the summer, or over an extended school year; another example encourages pre-K programs. …" @default.
