Is it working?• From the perspective of creating (or keeping) jobs - probably.
• According to grant recipients, last quarter, over 300,000 education jobs, such as teachers, principals, librarians, and counselors.
• 400K when including corrections officers, public health personnel, and construction workers.
• Some believe these are inflated, others think too low – a close look at data does show many inconsistencies, but ultimately, one would expect significant job creation given amount of funding.

Is it working?• From the perspective of reform…
– Catalyst for common standards and assessments
– Has moved the debate forward on teacher performance based on student achievement and teacher distribution
– Boost to State data systems– Focus on low achieving schools– Charter school movement has benefited– Positive movement overall, but still much to be proven

SFSF Phase I• Phase I application also provided insight on how
funds would be allocated:– Education Grants:
• Majority to restore K-12 $25+• Approx $6 billion to restore higher education• Approx $5 billion for school districts (after restoring funds)
– Government Services:• $8 billion• Uses of fund varied greatly, although majority not for education
• Recent Phase I amendments resulted in some changes, but generally not significant

SFSF Phase II• All States submitted in January 2010 – www.ed.gov
• Governors required to provide data in each of these four areas of reform.
• Data to public - “empowering them to identify needs and drive reform.”
• States not required to show progress – just prove information is in place – or
• Submit a plan for ensuring this information will be publicly reported as soon as possible, but no later than September 30, 2011.

• Take advantage of the data– Learn from what other States are doing
– How does your State stack up?– What is the business community doing in other States?
– Follow the spending
