The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 provides opportunities to improve instruction and increase student achievement for children across Michigan for generations to come. The charge is to fund innovative and proven strategies that drive educational reform. State data demonstrates that support is needed in math, reading, writing, parental involvement, high school graduation rates, and high quality job-embedded professional development for teachers. The responsibility for success depends on the commitment of students, parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, education boards, and state officials. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides a short-term investment for long-term gains in student achievement through innovation and accountability.
