Washington and Greene districts will get about $23 million from the federal stimulus package

The state Department of Education released estimated figures of how much each district will get from the stimulus. Some of it will have to spent spent on special education. Some will have to be spent on Title 1, or school improvement. A House committee released those estimates in February.
However, more money is available for things like construction of quick projects and preventing teacher layoffs. So the state broke that down this week to give districts estimates of how much they will get overall.
Local districts say they need more information before deciding exactly how the money should be spent.
How do you think it should be spent?
