Stimulus deconstructed

BoardBuzz has been keeping our ear to the ground on the stimulus package and what that means for school districts.  And our friends at Education Week are hosting a webinar tomorrow that will help even further. NSBA’s own Director of Federal Legislation, Deborah Rigsby, will be one of the panelists, so be sure to log in to learn. 

Economic Stimulus & Powering Through the Recession

What will President Obama’s stimulus package mean for K-12 budgets? How can you make best use of federal dollars to protect instruction and extend achievement amid cutbacks at the state and local levels?

• Presenters:
  Anthony Miller, chief operating officer of the U.S. Department of Education.
• Deborah Rigsby, director of federal legislation for the National School Boards Association.
• Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools.

Join our expert panel of practitioners and policy analysts on March 10 at 1 p.m., Eastern time, for this free live webinar on what’s coming down the pike and how to power your way through the recession.
