To the editor:
This past year, students and their families, schools and educators had to sacrifice so much. The one-time $2.3 billion in federal funding from the American Rescue Plan was meant to help public schools recover. However, the funding was not meant to relieve the state of its responsibility. By law, federal funding will not be received by any legislature that fails to increase education funding by at least $387 million over the next two years.
