Education Jobs Fund in West Virginia 

The Education Jobs Fund (Ed Jobs) program is a new Federal program that provides $10 billion in assistance to States to save or create education jobs. Jobs funded under this program include those that provide educational and related services for early childhood, elementary, and secondary education.

In 2010, the U.S. Department of Education awarded the State of West Virginia $54,657,667 in Ed Jobs funds that was sub-granted to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).  In 2011, an additional $807,770 was awarded through Ed Jobs bringing the total awarded to the State to $55,465,437.

To ensure transparency and accountability for the proper use of the Ed Jobs funds, regular desktop reviews and onsite monitoring visits will be performed throughout the grant term which ends on September 30, 2012.
