About a quarter of the $184 billion in pandemic aid designated for schools since 2020 and spent so far has gone toward facilities and construction, a Georgetown University research center says.

in the state, almost three-quarters of the designated funds have been budgeted for facility repairs, according to its spending plan. These expenditures went toward building new classrooms, sanitation materials, expanding the cafeteria and improving the school’s air quality, Velma Johnson, the federal programs coordinator for district, said.

She noted that the remaining funds for the 6,300-student district went toward purchasing technology, remediation courses and summer school programming. In a statement to NBC News, the department said that districts were only required “to reserve 20% to address learning loss through the implementation of evidence-based interventions” — the federally mandated minimum.

In particular, she’s unhappy with the district’s spending on boosting athletic facilities at Reagan High School.Milwaukee Public Schools did not respond to requests for comment.
