In order to address the resulting achievement gaps and mental health needs for low-income students and students of color, we have to make bold investments in our public education system. This legislation will create a $100 billion grant program to allow schools to implement both time-tested and creative new ideas to put all students back on track for success,\u201d\u00a0said Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChronic under funding of our\u00a0education system\u00a0was\u00a0failing\u00a0our students.\u00a0As\u00a0an educator,\u00a0I\u00a0witnessed\u00a0massive inequities\u00a0in the classroom \u2013 issues that have been alarmingly compounded by the COVID-19 crisis.\u00a0While the American Rescue Plan provided historic funding to local schools,\u00a0more\u00a0needs to be done\u00a0to combat\u00a0the setbacks that have caused children to struggle in school. This bill responds\u00a0by increasing funding streams to help schools support social and emotional learning, address\u00a0learning loss, and recruit a diverse educator workforce.\u00a0Connecticut and Massachusetts have led the nation in the response to\u00a0COVID-19,\u00a0so it is fitting that my New England colleagues have joined me to lead legislation\u00a0that invests in students on the other side of this crisis,\u201d\u00a0said Congresswoman Hayes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;54526&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers have estimated that school closures in the spring resulted in several months of lost instruction in math and reading, and one study estimated that between 10 and 25 percent of high-risk students, including homeless students and students with disabilities, have been completely disconnected from school since the pandemic began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traumatic effects of the pandemic on students\u2019 mental health are not yet well understood, but are expected to have long-term consequences for social and emotional well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data show that more school funding significantly improves student achievement. This is especially crucial for low-income communities and communities of color, which have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consequences of the pandemic for children\u2019s academic and social development are likely to be long-term: children in first grade this year may need additional support throughout their academic careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill will improve the approach to address students&#8217; social, emotional, mental, behavioral, and physical health needs related to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/arts.source.house_.ad_.virtual.2020.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/arts.source.house_.ad_.virtual.2020.png 471w, https:\/\/framinghamsource.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/arts.source.house_.ad_.virtual.2020-221x300.png 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>States, school districts, nonprofits in partnership with school districts, and the Bureau of Indian Education can apply for grants for one of two purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li><strong>Implement Evidence-based Strategies:<\/strong>&nbsp;75% of funds are reserved for grantees to adopt programs that meet a high bar of evidence, such as supporting social-emotional learning, implementing culturally and linguistically responsive practices, extending instructional time, and implementing high-quality individual or small-group tutoring.<\/li><li><strong>Support Field- and Educator-Initiated Innovations:<\/strong>&nbsp;25% of funds are reserved for grantees to develop or replicate new ideas and strategies designed by educators in the field to accelerate academic progress and address social, emotional, mental, behavioral, and physical health needs associated with COVID-19.
