The American Rescue Plan : A Billion Dollar Payday for an Education System that is Already Broke.

Detention with Dr. Nadia Lopez

The American Rescue Plan has distributed $125B across school districts in the US to ensure educators and students return to in person learning. During his keynote address as SXSW EDU, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, stated the money could be used to increase the pay of teachers, support professional development, and innovate schools. But without regulations in place to monitor the usage of funds the system remains broke with companies making profits, educators feeling defeated, and children still experiencing learning loss.
