Project Description: Poudre School District has used ARRA funds to assist in funding staff salary COLA and market increases for two job families, and increased costs for fringe benefits, such as PERA, Health, Dental Insurance.
Jobs Summary: The ARRA has not created any new jobs rather it has supported the Poudre School District Early Childhood Program in sustaining the high quality programs and staffing needed to operate the program and meet the performance standards. Without these funds the program would have needed to decrease classroom support, and comprehensive support structures to children and families, as well as increase case loads for nurses and family mentors.
