Florida received its portion of the federal relief money in late March, and is supposed to disburse it within 60 days.
Florida is getting more than $7 billion for K-12 schools as part of a massive aid package called the American Rescue Plan, which President Joe Biden signed in March.
But Tampa Congresswoman Kathy Castor said in an online town hall Wednesday, the state hasn't released the money to any Florida school districts.
"And they have been slow walking the funds down to local school districts. They've (been) slow walking it to an extent that I had to write a letter to the governor to say release our funds. We need them in Hillsborough County," Castor said.
