Course Description:
On January 20th, President-elect Barack Obama will take office, and one of
the first things he has pledged to do is sign a $500 billion "economic
recovery" bill that is currently being drafted by Congress. The funding
package will include billions in grants for school modernization and
renovation. Although details on the bill are changing daily, the broad
outlines are becoming clear, and they will be clearer yet when Congress
returns after the New Year.
