The U.S. Department of Education hosted the National Safe School Reopening Summit with health experts, educators, school leaders, and students from across the country to discuss and share guidance, strategies, & best practices to support school reopening. During the event President Biden announced that $81 billion from the American Rescue Plan is on its way to states to help facilitate school reopening as new, national data suggest millions of students still lack access to in-person instruction. Plus, the Federal Communications Commission is seeking public comment on new emergency E-Rate funding in the American Rescue Plan for home internet access, and the Senate held a confirmation hearing for Deputy Secretary of Education nominee Cindy Marten.
