Using Stimulus Funds for Professional Development
and Conference Attendance February 16, 2009
The United States Department of Education has sent
its first advice on how Local Education Agencies
(LEA) should use the new federal stimulus funds.
The advice for Title 1 Part A includes the specific
comment "LEA's will have a unique opportunity to
improve teaching and learning and should focus these
funds on short-term investments with the potential
for long-term benefits, rather than make ongoing
commitments that they might not be able to sustain
once recovery funds are expended." Professional
development clearly meets this advice. The advice
for IDEA, Part B includes ". funds should be used
for short-term investments that have the potential
for long-term benefits, rather than for expenditures
the LEAs may not be able to sustain once the
recovery funds are expended." If conference and
workshop professional development attendance is an
allowable expenditure for current Title 1 Part A and
IDEA Part B funds, then it would be an allowable
expenditure for the new stimulus funds.
The
CSROA is comprised of dedicated peace officers
and educators of California who readily commit
their experiences, efforts, and knowledge to
achieve the common goal of providing all
California schools with a safe and healthy
learning environment. Members of the CSROA serve
California’s schools statewide, participating in
various community-based prevention efforts and
convene with a number of committees dedicated to
recognizing the potential in today’s youth.
Striving to educate and increase awareness in the
communities throughout the State of California, the
CSROA hosts an Annual Statewide Conference to
provide training, technical assistance, direct
service and sharing of resources. It is one of the
many ways that the CSROA meets the needs of
California educators and law enforcement in
developing and maintaining safe and orderly schools.
Membership in the CSROA
also provides you with additional members only
resources, trainings and a chance to make a
difference in school safety.
