Broadband Technology Opportunities Program -
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration's
Broadband Opportunities Program would allow an upgrade to the state
data network, providing robust, converged voice and data network
access to state agencies and public safety offices across Alabama.
As a result, underserved areas would gain access to faster bandwidth,
greater reliability, improved web-based application experiences, stronger
network security, voice over IP, video service applications and more.

SFSF Government Services Allocation -
Finance Department
Application
Section 14002(b) of the ARRA authorizes a State to use its Government Services funds for
“public safety and other government services”, including assistance for elementary and
secondary education and public IHEs. In addition, the State may use these funds for
modernization, renovation, or repair of public school facilities and IHEs, including
modernization, renovation, and repairs that are consistent with a recognized green-building
rating system, subject to the requirements in the ARRA. The scope of allowable activities
must be determined on the basis of State law, subject to applicable requirements in the ARRA
and other Federal laws, including the limited restrictions in the ARRA on the uses of funds.
A State should expend funds from its Government Services Fund allocation in a manner that
will help create jobs, reduce unemployment, stabilize and improve the State’s economy, and
avert the need to raise taxes. The Department also encourages Governors to use these funds
in ways that support State and local educational reform initiatives, especially activities
that will enable the State to make progress in the areas related to the four education reform
assurances provided in the State’s application for Stabilization funding. |

State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF) are awarded by the Federal Department of Education directly to the
Governor’s office in each state. The Governor of Alabama requested that the Finance Department serve as the
grant management entity for these funds. The Finance Director determined that the Department’s Executive Budget
Office would handle this responsibility for the Governor and manage the distribution of SFSF allocations to all
sub-recipients Therefore, the Finance Department’s website will host State Fiscal Stabilization grant management
information. Detailed data on SFSF expenditures for the local education associations (LEA) can be found on the
State Department of Educations ARRA webpage. Detailed data on SFSF expenditures for institutions of higher
education and state agencies can also be found on their respective ARRA webpage, for both the education and
government services portion of SFSF. A full list of recipients of both the Education Stabilization and Government
Services funds can be found on the updated SFSF Disbursement Spreadsheet found below. Links to the SFSF recipient
websites are on the Executive Summary Report found at
www.stimulus.alabama.gov.
