California Recovery Task Force

Education

Color Pencils

California will receive Recovery Act funds to bolster our state’s schools and universities so California’s future workforce can receive the best education to succeed in and strengthen our state and nation’s economy. These funds will protect education funding and important preparatory programs such as Head Start and Work Study, as well as help prevent the layoffs of educators and other school employees. Recovery money will also go to help improve performance in struggling schools, further development of data bases that will accurately manage and analyze individual student data and improve teacher preparation and recruitment.

Governor Schwarzenegger made California the first in the nation to tap into education Recovery Act funds and has made education a top priority in his administration. He has funded education to the highest levels in state history and reversed the chronic underfunding of Career Technical Education (CTE).
