California receives federal funds

California had some good news last Friday, when "U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced that nearly $4 billion is now available for California under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009." California is the first state to be approved for the first round of state stabilization funding. The full story is available at the U.S. Department of Education website. For more information on California's road to economic recovery, you can visit the governor's new California Economic Recovery Website. The site is similar to the federal economic recovery site established by the President - Recovery.gov.
