From a colleague….

The National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities has a very detailed summary on their web site of the proposed House Stimulus Bill. Details include what can be spent, and where it can be spent in regards to construction and technology. This bill still has to get approved and go to the Senate, but both bills are on a really fast track.

Amounts….

Funding amounts are:

— School modernization, renovation, and repair, $14 billion.

— Higher education modernization, renovation, and repair, $6 billion.

— Education technology, $1 billion.

The U.S. Department of Education would have 30 days to allocate funds to the states, and the states would have 30 days to allocate funds to local school districts.
