Sioux City Community School Board Member Expresses Concern Over Proposed CARES Act Budget
One member of the Sioux City Community School Board says he is concerned about how the school district wants to spend CARES Act Money.
Dan Greenwell says there is too much emphasis put on virtual schooling.
The Sioux City Community School District was awarded more than $20 million in federal emergency relief money due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Monday, the district unveiled a draft budget to the district’s finance committee. Greenwell is part of that group .
“$20 million is just the first round. We are likely to get $35 million more. I don’t know how to say it, but we stumbled over a whole lot of money. And, now the focus that I want is spending each dollar like it’s my own.”
