The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. ARRA provides significant new Federal funding for educational programs under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA).* To help improve teaching and learning for students most at risk of failing to meet state academic achievement standards ARRA provides $10 billion in additional fiscal year 2009 funds to local education agencies (LEAs) for schools that have high concentrations of students from families that live in poverty [1]. Of those funds, more than $100 million will support LEA education programs for children and youth who are neglected or delinquent.
This page provides general information about ARRA and its impact on Title I, Part D, Subpart 2, funding and offers resources for State Part D program administrators. Information will be added to this page as it becomes available from the U.S. Department of Education.
*ESEA was reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001(NCLB) [Public Law 107-110] and is often referred to as NCLB. As such, statutes listed below are attributed to NCLB.
About ARRA
ARRA provides approximately $100 billion for education, with the intent of saving hundreds of thousands of jobs, supporting States and school districts, and advancing reforms and improvements that will create long-lasting results for students—including early learning, K-12, and postsecondary education. The links below provide information about ARRA’s impact on education and its implementation in local educational agencies across the country [2].

NDTAC has developed a tip sheet (PDF) to assist States and LEAs in allocating and using these funds in ways that fulfill the goals of both ARRA and the Title I, Part D, Subpart 2, program in a sustainable manner:
- NDTAC Tip Sheet: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funding for Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 Programs (PDF, released May 13, 2009)
The U.S. Department of Education has released guidance for Title I, Part A, funds (PDF) made available under ARRA that includes sections applicable to Part D programs:
- GUIDANCE: Funds under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 Made Available Under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (PDF, released
April 1, 2009)
Sections A-6, A-9, B-10, B-22, C-13, and D-2–4 are relevant regarding institutions and programs for youth who are neglected or delinquent. Section E addresses the transparency, accountability, and reporting requirements for all Title I ARRA funds.
Additionally, States and LEAs should use the provisions of the current No Child Left Behind Act (Sects. 1421–26) to plan for the use of ARRA funds. NCLB details the types of facilities eligible to receive the annual Subpart 2 funding and ways in which the funds may be used. The links below may help to clarify the existing Subpart 2 funding guidelines and regulations:
- Subpart 2: Section 1422. Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies
This section outlines the purpose of local Part D programs and provides basic regulations for how they should be run. - Subpart 2: Section 1424. Uses of Funds
This section provides the five areas in which LEAs may use Part D funds under Subpart 2. - Title I, Part D Nonregulatory Guidance
The guidance describes the requirements of Part D programs and provides suggestions for addressing many of these requirements. Sections L–Q in particular address the use of Part D funds by LEA programs and facilities.

†The data in this table are for information purposes only and do not constitute any binding agreement on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education.
*States not currently operating Title I, Part D, Subpart 2, programs are not included in this table.
**Actual amounts received by LEAs will be smaller than shown here due to State-level adjustments to Federal Title I allocations. States adjust allocations, for example, to reflect LEA boundary changes or the creation of new LEAs, including charter school LEAs, that are not accounted for in the statutory calculations. States must reserve 4 percent in fiscal year 2009 for school improvement activities.
