I can only speak for Mansfield.
The town will receive $2.1 million for the 2009-2010 school year. Of that money, only half can be used to pay teachers (read: save jobs), the other half must be spent on professional development and other education programs for the students. Approximately 20 teaching jobs in Mansfield will be saved due to the stimulus, but there is still discussion that up to 68 teachers will be losing their job.
They have been told, any non-tenured teacher (at the school 3 years or less) will be getting a pink slip. First round of slips go out later this month.
Next year, the town will be receiving more money. The total amount is yet to be determined.
