Federal education officials say Nebraska will soon receive nearly $59 million that should help protect jobs next school year.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Friday that Nebraska
was one of the first states to submit its application for this money.
The $58.9 million Nebraska is receiving is part of a $26 billion
jobs bill and signed into law by President Barack Obama last month.
Republican Governor Dave Heineman grudgingly agreed to accept the money because it would have been distributed even if Nebraska had turned it down.
Heineman has been a vocal critic of the latest federal stimulus package.
State education officials have said the money could help reduce the number of job cuts in K-12 education next year.
