The dynamics of implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: Early childhood and Title I school improvement in Connecticut

Description:
This report focuses specifically on the implementation of ARRA on Title I schools and early-childhood education in two Connecticut cities: Bridgeport and Hartford. It focuses on the complexity of translating social policies into action. This report is based largely on interviews with 30 stakeholders in the public, private, and non-profit sectors in Bridgeport and Hartford, Connecticut. From our examination, it seems that two factors are important in considering the implementation of the ARRA in Bridgeport and Hartford: (1) how the state chose to disperse the ARRA funds; and (2) the scope and nature of the local coalitions in each community. Our research also suggests that the timing of the ARRA's passage impacted how states and communities implemented the funds. (author abstract)
