Delaware will spend $9 million filling in school district budgets to prevent teacher layoffs amid a historic decline in student enrollment during the pandemic, Gov. John Carney announced Thursday.
The money comes from contingency funds in this year s state budget and will make up for losses districts would have faced in the middle of the school year.
School districts and charter schools can get a boost if officials certify to the state s Department of Education that they will not lay off teachers or staff and use the funds on student instruction, focused on those students who have been most negatively impacted by the loss of in-person instruction, according to a news release.
Forecasters expected 2 feet of snow this week from the biggest East Coast winter storm in years, but students in many areas might not rejoice the same way they once did.
Snow days, those celebrated breaks from school, are melting away during a time of virtual learning in the coronavirus pandemic.
In September, New York City said the nation s largest school district wouldn t have snow days. If school buildings couldn t open, students would learn remotely.
As the snowstorm bore down this week, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said school would continue normally Wednesday, with some students learning in person. He promised an update if the storm prevented school buildings from opening Thursday. In that case, he said Tuesday, students would learn remotely.
