The Texas Education Agency recently released revised instructions for the calculation of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) jobs saved or created as a result of federal funding under the American Recovery Reinvestment Act (ARRA).  Following the publication of the changed instructions, the Agency requested revised jobs data from public school entities for the quarter October 1 - December 31, 2009.  The deadline for uploading revised jobs data was extended by TEA to March 7, 2010. 

Instructions for uploading corrected data are accessible at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/uploadedFiles/Communications/Stimulus/attachments/EREntryProcedures020410.pdf
