Earlier this week, Oklahoma's State Department of Education announced how much of the $1.5 billion individual school districts would receive from the American Rescue Plan.
The state’s more than 500 school districts will each benefit from the record influx of federal money.
The biggest totals will go to Oklahoma City and Tulsa Public Schools. They're getting $164.7 and $130.7 million respectively.
But it’s big money everywhere.
For rural districts like Woodward Public Schools, superintendent Kyle Reynolds told StateImpact earlier this week that the federal influx of $4.4 million represents to his district represents one quarter of the district's annual budget. It's the largest sudden influx Woodward has seen in recent memory.
