Authorities say Iowa will be receiving more than $18 million in federal funding to turn around its persistently lowest achieving schools.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the aid Tuesday through the School Improvement Grants program. These funds are part of the $3.5 billion that will be made available to the states this spring from money set aside in the 2009 budget and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The money being made available to Iowa is being distributed by formula to the state and will then be apportioned out by the state to the school districts.
