Dave Williams of the Atlanta Business Chronicle reports:
Georgia will be on the receiving end of $665 million in federal stimulus funds to help educate students with disabilities or from low-income families.
The Georgia Board of Education unanimously approved the allocations on Tuesday in a special called meeting.
More than half of the federal aid — $351 million — will go to Georgia school districts through the federal Title I program, which provides funding for economically disadvantaged students. The rest of the money will come from a federal program dedicated to students with disabilities.
