On Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan announced $11.2B in federal relief funds are on the way to help Texas schools recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a news release, since the federal COVID-19 refilled money first became available, the Texas House Democrats pushed for the funding to be distributed to public schools.
Rep. Eddie Rodriguez (D-Austin) passed an amendment to the budget last week, instructing the state to distribute the money.
