Where is the federal money going?

Well, it seems it's a bit hard to tell so far.
Despite strong words about transparency from the federal government surrounding the spending of stimulus money on education, it seems the spending isn't being made public quite as easily as that:

Although about $145 million in aid has been sent from the U.S. Department of Education to states and local districts so far, most states’ “recovery” Web sites contain only general information about the stimulus program and no information on the money that’s flowed into their states.

Recovery.gov, the federal government’s main online portal on the stimulus is still without any state-by-state information on money that’s already filtered down from federal agencies to the states, and most Education Department spending data are buried in Excel spreadsheets deep in the departmental Web site.

Reportedly, federal officials are hosting an online forum this week on using the Web site to track money.They also have plans for further improvements.
