Education Jobs Fund

The Education Jobs Fund was created in August, 2010 to help school districts retain or create education jobs. The Federal Government allocated $10 billion in which Ohio is receiving approximately $361 million. These funds are to be expended in either this school year or next school year and can only be used for salaries and benefits for staff at the building levels. These funds are not limited to teacher salaries but can be used to provide secreataries, prinicpals, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and aides. No administrative or central office personnel can receive compensation from these resources. Marlington already had their staffing needs for the district in place this school year; thus with the possibilty of budget cuts next year, has decided to allocate these dollars for the 2011-2012 school year. Until next time, Sandy Moeglin, Treasurer
