Students and teachers have had a difficult year, from COVID interruptions to the brutal winter storms. Despite heroic efforts by educators, considerable instructional time has been lost. Please spend federal COVID dollars for education on the one-time cost of helping schools address learning loss and give our school districts the flexibility to meet the unique needs of our communities. It’s important that we not allow students to fall behind.
