New and newluy renovated facilities also will requireupgraded security, fixtures and equipment. Despite all the talk surroundingb the American Recovery andReinvestment Act, the vast majority of fundas have not yet started flowing.
A recenf report stated that lessthan 6% of the totall funding has been release d by the federal government. Watch for Texas schoo l districts to receive large chunksw ofthe funding. Some school districtzs already have authorization tobegin spending, but most of the activityy is still a month or so
