The vast majority of that for &#39;Board of School Commissioners of The City of Indianapolis (inc).&#39;<br /><br />And the stated purpose of the money? &quot;Ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children and youth.&quot;<br /><br />Which, and please correct me if I&#39;m wrong, is something they already had.<br /><br />The ones I checked (there are many) were &#39;not started&#39; so the job counts are predictions, not facts.<br /><br />The starting point for my inquiries was <a href="http://www.recovery.gov/pages/textview.aspx?data=homeMapRecipient" rel="nofollow">recovery.gov recipients</a> and I clicked the &#39;+&#39; beside &#39;Indiana.&#39;Downtown Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239811599722585898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-85561139438469531262009-11-18T23:15:02.951-05:002009-11-18T23:15:02.951-05:00I know the administration has already admitted the inaccurate numbers of jobs claimed to be created from the stimulus spending and has rounded down those numbers by more than 60,000 jobs.Gary R.
