Despite Secretary Duncan's imploring states and districts to use formula-based ARRA funding for reform, it appears that nearly all of it went to job protection.
According to Education Week, only $600 million of $14 billion spent so far has been directed to things other than jobs. So what might have (should have) been a 50-50 split between reform and stabilization has turned into a 4-96 split.
Just another reason to wonder whether states really plan to use RTT funds for reform or if these grants will somehow be directed to preservation of the status quo.
