Fed economic stimulus school district funding runs come out
The U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor published a run of the federal economic stimulus bill’s impact on American school districts.
The run shows some Minnesota school districts receiving millions of dollars under the bill, other school districts much less.
Minnesota Department of Education Commissioner Alice Seagren said today (Feb. 23) that her department is being very wary in citing federal education stimulus numbers, because the dollar amounts can change and she didn’t want school districts planning their budgets based on bad numbers.
Anyway, as possibly faulty as the numbers are, the run shows in total dollars:
•Big Lake School District: $575,000.
•Burnsville School District: $3.5 million.
•Caledonia School District: $334,000.
•Cambridge-Isanti School District: $1.3 million.
•Elk River School District: $2 million.
•Farmington School District: $1.2 million.
•Forest Lake School District: $1.9 million.
•Lakeville School District: $2 million.
•North Branch School District: $900,000.
•Princeton School District: $835,000.
•Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District: $5.9 million.
•Spring Lake Park School District: $1.2 million.
•St. Francis School District: $1.6 million.
