Public schools wasted COVID funds, Biden’s education budget tacitly admits — The Hill

Nearly three years after Biden signed ARP, students still aren’t caught up, despite a federal windfall. Indeed, academic recovery hasn’t been a priority for many public schools across the country.

Why not right? This is a joke and I have seen it first hand with my kids. I couldn’t tell you where any of the money went but we built a new school and put a million dollar playground in. We added lots of pretty color changing LEDs too. You know all the lights are green and environmentally friendly.

Early on Schools could not accept the money unless they implemented Covid protocols. Masking, plexiglass, signs were all to bring "optics" as if there were a scary boogieman out there. All Lies! Kids were never at risk. I worked with a team of about 45 parents to get the masks off our children. We told the board along with the supervisor we will make claims against their surety bond insuance because they are harming OUR property. Masks came off shortly after and the rest is history. Never again!!

My district is making crazy cuts across the board, teachers, aids, services, which means more kids in a class and the ones who should not be mainstream will be. Its like they didn't think the free money was ever going to run out.

Mine is raising taxes like crazy instead of cutting. 17% last two years and another one is coming.

Well for some reason the people keep voting for the budget increase. People must be rich. Lol. I always felt little Johnny needed astro turf on the football field instead of food.

Maybe, if the school is failing, and they say they need more money, we send the money, but require all the administration to be replaced.

Obviously they squandered the last batch.
