SCHOLARSHIPS: double scholarships for future teachers f/ $4k to $8k (expands to early childhood as well)

GYO/RESIDENCIES: $2.8 billion

HBCUs/MSIs: $400 for teacher prep to boost educator diversity

Let's talk RECONCILIATION🤓 *blows air horn, crowd fricken loses it*.

Biden's $1.9T stimulus plan includes $130B for schools. But if a bipartisan agreement can't be reached, Dems wouldn't have the requisite 60 votes to cut off debate/advance the bill. Plan B = reconciliation So what is it? Technically, it "reconciles" the priorities in a budget resolution w/ current spending/rev. But really the majority party uses it to circumvent the filibuster. BIG CAVEAT: there are restrictions, namely it must be mandatory spending (Byrd rule).

We've arrived!

FINAL TEXT confirms ~$54.8B for K-12.

This allocation is ~4x the $13B in the CARES Act.

Here's a breakdown w/ a *ROUGH* estimate of what states should receive compared to CARES: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

States' approximate share of NEW K-12 funding: Again, w/ the caveat here that these #s are rough, the per-state allocation compared to CARES could actually be higher due to fewer set-asides (CARES had an additional 1% off-the-top reservation to states w/ the "highest coronavirus burden" but I don't see that in this bill).
