SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Schools in Utah gained access to an additional $205 million in federal relief on Wednesday after the U.S. Education Department approved plans from several states detailing how the funding will be used to get students caught up on learning lost during the coronavirus pandemic.
Utah is among the first few states to get approval for spending plans explaining how they will spend their shares of a $123 billion infusion of federal education relief. Arkansas, South Dakota, Texas, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Washington, D.C., also had their plans accepted Wednesday.

First Lady Abby Cox announced a four-part initiative to combat the “empathy crisis.
About 50 people gathered at a nonprofit horse riding school Tuesday to help launch Utah First Lady Abby Cox’s “Show Up” initiative.
The volunteers worked on the first service project by making gift packages with handwritten notes for foster families.
Cox’s initiative is aimed at solving what she calls the “empathy crisis.”
“We must learn to connect through our differences,” she said. “[Show Up is] about encouraging Utahns everywhere to reach out wherever they are, lift others, serve others and to be willing to learn and appreciate different points of view.”
