Wonder if other states will be sued over the closing of schools during covid? California agrees to $2 billion settlement over Covid pandemic learning loss for struggling students “It is the most urgent crisis in America today,” said Mark Rosenbaum, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. “And hopefully this settlement will be a model for 49 other states to say that there is nothing more important than we can do.”
Alternate headline to blow conservative minds: CA agrees to allocate $2 Billion DEI money for students.
From your link, It looks like this wasn’t about school closures, but instead about allocation of federal funds. “To settle the lawsuit, California agreed to spend $2 billion to help children impacted the most to recover from lost learning and the mental health impact caused by school closures during the pandemic. The federal government granted public school districts more than $190 billion between March 2020 and March 2021 for that purpose, but the plaintiffs argued that in California the state failed to ensure local districts targeted the money for students who needed the most help.”
