How are students
being supported through the use of federal stimulus dollars?
The
federal stimulus dollars are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to support our
students and to address the multi-year effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The decision
on how to spend federal pandemic recovery resources is inherently and
intentionally local as school communities are best equipped to identify and
address their most urgent local needs in order to:
● Create safe and healthy learning environments
● Address disrupted learning time
● Meet mental health needs of students and staff
● Support educators and staff stability and well-being
In addition to mitigating the effects of the pandemic, the shortfall in state funding to Colorado schools during the 2020-21 school year doubled and the one-time federal stimulus funds helped to temporarily mitigate the significant loss in funding to school districts. As Colorado spends less on education per student than most other states, a teacher shortage existed before the pandemic making it difficult for school districts to recruit and retain highly qualified teachers. While all the one-time federal stimulus dollars will expire by September 30, 2024, they have supported local students and communities weather the effects of the pandemic.
