How Can Federal COVID Relief Be Used for Safe and Sustainable School Reopening
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provides just over $170.3 billion to education, and on March 24, $81 billion was made immediately available to support safe and sustainable school reopening efforts. President Biden’s infrastructure plan may also provide funds to help repair crumbling classrooms, build new public school buildings, expand broadband, and upgrade educational infrastructure.
To support districts as they decide how to use these incoming federal resources, Learning Policy Institute has developed a suite of research and tools including a curated hub of health and safety resources that is continuously updated to share important information for school leaders, early learning communities, and policymakers.
