(The Center Square) â Tennessee is set to receive nearly $4.2 billion in taxpayer-supported federal COVID-19 relief to help schools, and the Tennessee Department of Education announced Wednesday how that money will be spent.
The largest spending will go toward two programs: the Tennessee Literacy Success Act and Reading 360, which will receive $120.7 million, and the Tennessee Learning Loss and Student Acceleration Act, which will get $170.5 million.
The latter focuses on summer remediation camps in 2021 and 2022 across the state with a focus on opportunities for students from lower-income homes and those with disabilities who are more likely to have fallen behind during school shutdowns.

HELENA, Mont. â As a result of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), signed by the president on March 11, $12.8 million will be flowing to Montana non-public schools and homeschools through the Office of Public Instruction (OPI).
This will be the second allotment of funds given to the program after Montana was allocated $12.8 million from the Federal Emergency Assistance to the Non-Public Schools Program (EANS) in January 2021.Â
The OPI said in a release, the purpose of these federal funds is to provide services and assistance to non-public schools and Montana home school student populations that enroll a significant percentage of low-income students and are most impacted by COVID-19.
