CHICAGO – Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced a multi-billion dollar plan to help with students’ return to the classroom after months of virtual and hybrid learning.
There is $7 billion in federal funding that is being made available for K-12 schools over a three-year period. The funding is part of the American Rescue Plan. During a Wednesday press conference, he said the funds will help boost resources both inside and outside the classroom.
“With these enormous new resources comes the great challenge that most districts have never had to face. How to avoid the last 12 months become the lost year for our students,” said Gov. Pritzker.
Each school district received the Learning Renewal Resource Guide, filled with ideas from experts and stakeholders to help school districts renew learning.
In addition to the guide, Illinois state education agencies also will focus on four major goals to support schools including high-impact tutoring and encouraging enrollment in both early childhood programs and higher education.
