Fraction Of Schools Relief Funds Budgeted For Learning Loss –
Associated Press
New Mexico schools plan to spend the bulk of the federal coronavirus relief money they ve received on technology and building upgrades rather than student learning loss.
A report this week before the New Mexico Legislature s budget committee showed school districts and charters plan to spend 38% of the $490 million they received thus far on technology and HVAC systems.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that schools plan to spend 9% of the funds on learning loss programs and 8% on interventions for at-risk students.
The budget committee s program evaluation manager Micaela Fischer told lawmakers those numbers were surprising because students likely missed out on learning because of the shift to remote classrooms during the pandemic.
