Education Jobs Fund

The Education Jobs (Ed Jobs) program, a component of the Education Jobs and Medicaid Assistance Act of 2010 (PL 111-226), provides $1.2 billion to California to be used to save or create an estimated 16,500 kindergarten through grade twelve (K–12) jobs for the 2010–11 school year. Jobs funded under this program include those that provide educational and related services for early childhood, elementary and secondary education.
