View Comments More than $2.3 million of student and teacher devices and $460,000-plus in  software for virtual learning were the focus Jackson-Madison County School System used to reopen schools in 2020 thanks to federal grant money. Dozens of projects to address learning loss, technology and other school projects made up most of JMCSS’ $16.7 million in grant spending in the following months. With a third allocation of grant money totaling over $37 million in hand, JMCSS leaders say the district will spend more than the 20% required of it to address learning loss. Board Chairman James “Pete” Johnson has said that learning loss didn’t start with the pandemic. Strategies to address that loss have traditionally lacked funding, he said.
