Gov. Walz plans to send $75 million in federal aid to summer schools.
(FOX 9) - Gov. Tim Walz is putting $75 million in federal COVID-19 relief funding into summer school programs in his first move after the 2021 legislative session ended.
Walz can act on his own because the governor and lawmakers agreed Monday to a deal that gives Walz control of $500 million in federal aid. The governor said he had earmarked about 40 percent of the funding so far, leaving the rest uncommitted.
