Abstract: The State Fiscal 

Stabilization Fund (SFSF) program is 

authorized in Title XIV of Division A of 

the American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) (Pub. 

L. 111–5), which President Barack 

Obama signed into law on February 17, 

2009. 

Under the SFSF program, the U.S. 

Department of Education awards funds 

to Governors to help stabilize State and 

local budgets in order to minimize and 

avoid reductions in education and other 

essential services, in exchange for a 

State’s commitment to advance essential 

education reform in four areas: (1) 

Making improvements in teacher 

effectiveness and in the equitable 

distribution of qualified teachers for all 

students, particularly students who are 

most in need; (2) establishing pre-K-tocollege-and-career data systems that 

track progress and foster continuous 

improvement; (3) making progress 

toward rigorous college- and careerready standards and high-quality 

assessments that are valid and reliable 

for all students, including limited 

English proficient students and students 

with disabilities; and (4) providing 

targeted, intensive support and effective 

interventions for the lowest-performing 

schools. 

Section 14008 of ARRA requires each 

State receiving funds to submit an 

annual report to the Secretary, at such 

time and in such manner as the 

Secretary may require, that describes: 

(1) The uses of funds provided under 

this title within the State; 

(2) How the State distributed the 

funds it received under this title; 

(3) The number of jobs that the 

Governor estimates were saved or 

created with funds the State received 

under this title; 

(4) Tax increases that the Governor 

estimates were averted because of the 

availability of funds from this title; 

(5) The State’s progress in reducing 

inequities in the distribution of highly 

qualified teachers, in implementing a 

State longitudinal data system, and in 

developing and implementing valid and 

reliable assessments for limited English 

proficient students and children with 

disabilities; 

(6) The tuition and fee increases for 

in-State students imposed by public 

institutions of higher education in the 

State during the period of availability of 

funds under this title, and a description 

of any actions taken by the State to limit 

those increases; 

(7) The extent to which public 

institutions of higher education 

maintained, increased, or decreased 

enrollment of in-State students, 

including students eligible for Pell 

Grants or other need-based financial 

assistance; and 

(8) A description of each 

modernization, renovation and repair 

project funded, which shall include the 

amounts awarded and project costs. 

Each State will submit to the 

Department two SFSF annual reports. 

The initial report will be due to the 

Department by February 18, 2011. This 

report will cover the period from the 

State’s receipt of SFSF funds through 

September 30, 2010. Each State must 

submit its final SFSF report by February 

18, 2012. The final report will provide 

data for the period extending through 

September 30, 2011, the deadline for 

obligation of SFSF funds.

The Department will, with the 

assistance of a contractor, evaluate the 

information in each report and use the 

data to prepare for the Congress the 

Secretary’s Report required under 

Section 14110 of the ARRA. In addition, 

the data will inform the Department’s 

administration and oversight of the 

program. In particular, it will provide 

useful information on the uses and 

impact of SFSF funds.

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the TS Program is to identify qualified 

individuals with potential for education 

at the postsecondary level and 

encourage them to complete secondary 

school and undertake a program of 

postsecondary education. TS projects 

publicize the availability of, and

Priorities: Under this competition we 

are particularly interested in 

applications that address the following 

priorities. 

Invitational Priorities: For FY 2011 

these priorities are invitational 

priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we 

do not give an application that meets 

these invitational priorities a 

competitive or absolute preference over 

other applications. 

These priorities are: 

Invitational Priority 1: The Secretary 

encourages applicants to propose 

projects that provide services to 

students enrolled in schools that are not 

currently being served by a Talent 

Search project, especially schools that 

the State has identified as the 

persistently lowest-achieving schools. 

Invitational Priority 2: The Secretary 

encourages applicants to work with 

appropriate State agencies to use data 

from State longitudinal data systems or 

to obtain data from reliable third-party 

sources when providing information on 

the implementation of their Talent 

Search projects and their participants’ 

outcomes. 

Invitational Priority 3: The Secretary 

encourages applicants to coordinate 

project services with school-level 

partners and other community resources 

in order to carry out projects that are 

cost-effective and best meet students’ 

needs. 

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1070a–11–
