As of May, states and school districts had yet to spend 93 percent of the education funding allocated to them under the Democrats’ American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Meanwhile, low-income students are struggling to recover from academic learning loss caused by the pandemic and extended school closures.
Studies have shown that students in low-income schools are 13 months behind their peers in high-income schools, likely because more low-income schools shut their classrooms and parents’ concerns for their children were not considered.
