Background:
|
At the federal level, work continues on the Build Back Better legislation. New policies supporting early childhood care and education continue to be central to the package.
At the state level, ESSER III funds for some districts, including MPS, will finally be made available. Announced and much discussed earlier this spring, to this point school districts have not been able to access not spend those funds.
On Friday, December 3, Governor Evers announced plans to distribute $110 of federal funds to schools. In his announcement the Governor made clear that these will be one-time funds and though they provide crucial support for schools, these funds do not make up for the fact that for the first time the state budget will not provide a per pupil increase for two consecutive years.
The Governor proposed sustainable increases of $200 and $204 per pupil, which means that for the 2022-23 school year, school districts would have seen support rise by $404 per pupil compared to $0 under current law.
