#Thread on K-12 funding in the Covid relief bill, which also prevents a government shutdown by funding the federal government. $900 Billion. 5,000+ pages, nobody read, except whatever each congressm@n contributed, for sure. via edsource.org/2020/congress-…
$82B for education, $54B in particular for #K12. Quadrupling what was set aside on the first round of the #CARESAct
CA expected to receive about 10% of the monies (CA is Pelosi's and VP elect Harris' turf). Makes FASFA easier to fill- IDK, it was never that hard... The entire bill voted by 92-6 in the Senate. That is a majority, not to exaggerate, if you know how Congress has operated recently
Follows the usual Title I formula (not aligned to what is on Biden's #edu platform, which I mentioned would need further legislation. Schools will keep same CARESAct flexibility re school opening and distance learning.
Not much allocated for governors', as the CARESAct did, discretionary spending. Includes money for vaccination (I just realized this article is mostly about CA, but they're the same rules)
$50 a month per household to defer internet costs. Also includes an extension of funding not yet used under the original CARESAct. Funds, states and districts, have been slow to roll out spending.
@UnrollHelper Thanks!
