COVID funding is ending for schools. What will it mean for students?
About this episode
Billions of dollars in federal COVID funding is set to expire for K-12 schools.
Educators across the country say the extra money helped students catch up, and plenty of students still need that support.
Some schools say losing the the money, received over the last few years, will lead to cancelation of crucial programs, budget cutbacks and possible layoffs.
NPR's Scott Detrow speaks with Wall Street Journal education reporter Matt Barnum about the impact of expiring federal funds on schools across the country.
