Community Services Recovery & Reinvestment Project

2010-09-09T23:10:23-04:00

The project will provide training for new employment opportunities along with education or skills training that will help participants market their skills to new employers. It will provide for financial literacy training leading to the establishment of new savings accounts and also help families obtain safe/stable housing following stays in shelters or transitional housing. The project will also provide emergency housing intervention to allow families to avoid eviction.

Homelessness & Re-housing Project

BVAA Energy Efficiency Improvements

2010-04-20T16:09:32-04:00

The project will incorporate Flow Based Cycle Time (FBCT) into the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process to extend cycle times to improve performance, reduce equipment wear & tear and reduce energy usage by over 26%. The reduction in the number of cycles will reduce on/off cycling of the Ultra-Violet (UV)disinfection process as well as reduce the time (energy) the UV bulbs must be on (energized). The FBCT process will maintain a higher average liquid level in the SBR tanks resulting in a higher oxygen transfer efficiency and therefore a reduction in energy requirements for aeration. The incorporation ov Variable Speed Control (VFD) for the blowers will improve efficiency (reduce energy requirements) for the aeration process. The project will also include improvements at 3 Sewage Pump stations. These improvements will result in energy saving over 28%

Special Education Funding
Significant Recovery Act funding was provided for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This funding helps schools improve teaching, learning, and academic achievements for children with disabilities. For example, funds could be used for assistive technology devices, programs to develop job placements for disabled youth, or to develop the capacity of school programs to serve disabled children.

Funding Targeted to Low Income Students
The Recovery Act provides additional funding for Title 1 programs, which helps economically disadvantaged students who may be at risk for not meeting academic standards. Funds could be used to expand reading and math services for eligible students, implementing a summer school or extended day program to provide additional instruction time, or for intensive professional development for teachers.

State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF)
Recovery Act SFSF funds will supplement state funds for Basic Education Funding. Together, these two funding sources will provide $5.7 billion for basic education needs in fiscal year 2010-11. Funds are largely used at the discretion of each school district, most often to maintain programs, curriculum and staff.
