Education-related

Stimulus Appropriations

2

“Typically, school district spending on textbooks, supplemental resources, and technology ranges from 2 to 4 percent of [a school’s] overall budget… The stimulus could boost spending in these areas into a range of 5 to 10 percent. ….5 to 10 percent of $100 billion is a pretty large infusion into this market.”

Textbook publisher, quoted in Education Week,

May 13, 2009

Where are the opportunities?Where are the opportunities?

Companies in search of education-related opportunities are focusing on 3 main areas:– Products that are good candidates for one-

time funding (such as technology, computers, data systems)

– Services (such as how to use stimulus funding to turn around a failing school)

– Consulting (how to get even more stimulus dollars)

3

Where are the opportunities?Where are the opportunities? Companies that offer help and materials for

special education and for struggling schools could benefit the most, since special education and Title I programs are getting a combined $15 billion nationally from the stimulus ($492 million in Indiana)

Because most school districts are expected to spend their funding within the next 6-8 months, existing companies with solid track records may prevail over start-ups.
