Idaho to get another $66 million for education

Another $66 million in federal money has become available to Idaho under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The money, earmarked for education, is the second half of funds approved for Idaho after the state filed its initial application in April 2009.  Idaho officials filed another application in January to be eligible to receive the additional money, which was announced Friday.

The state has already received $371 million in federal stimulus funds.  (AP)
