Texas schools have spent millions this year to make sure students are safe, fed and learning during the pandemic.
Public schools across Texas are in limbo as they wait for word on how much funding they’ll receive from the state this semester.
During the fall semester, the Texas Education Agency enacted a policy called Hold Harmless to keep districts from being penalized for low attendance rates during the pandemic. But the state agency hasn’t decided if it will continue Hold Harmless this spring.
Without a waiver to continue funding schools based on their pre-COVID attendance rates, districts stand to lose millions of dollars.
