14. State Fiscal Stabilization
Question: How much money is Washington State
receiving?
Answer: The preliminary estimate is $1 billion.
81.8% is for education ($819.9 Million).
This includes K-12 & Post Secondary education.
Office of Superintendent of Public
2/24/2009 27
Instruction

15. State Fiscal Stabilization - Basic
Question: What can basic stabilization funds be used for?
Answer: Any activity authorized under ESEA (NCLB),
IDEA, the Perkins Act, or modernization of public school
facilities.
•Very significant issue. If the Legislature replaces I-728
with stabilization funding, and districts can only spend the
resources on these federal programs, the use of funds will
be very constricted.

16. What does this mean?
Unless federal regulations (Supplanting &
Maintenance of Effort) are changed….
Federal stimulus funds may have no effect on
the General Fund budget deficit!
