The stimulus plan in the works on Capitol Hill will come too late for the start of the school year in much of the nation, adding to the chaos in an education system already thrown into disarray by the global pandemic

Noelle Ellerson Ng, who leads legislative and advocacy efforts at The School Superintendents Association, said some school districts have been cautious not to blow all of their new funding to prepare for the start of the school year amid uncertainty about how the virus’ spread could change their plans in the coming months.

“The reality is, we're still two weeks out from the school year starting, and depending on how hotspots flare up, communities might again pivot to doing more fully online,” Ellerson Ng said. “It is responsible and prudent for school districts to say: Well, we're not going to spend every single dollar on a fully in-person scenario, even though that's what we want.”

While school districts throughout the country are bracing for a 10 to 15 percent cut due to the virus’ effect on local economies, the stimulus plan Senate Republicans laid out this week would require states to maintain their funding for education at the same levels as last year, or higher, to qualify for a windfall in grant funding under the proposal.
