CACHE, Okla. (TNN) - President Biden’s signature on House Resolution 1319, also known as the American Rescue Plan Act, set the wheels in motion for schools across the country to receive a total of $122.8 billion for the 2023-2024 school year.
Cache Public Schools Superintendent, Chad Hance, says his district expects to receive about $2.2 million.
“You know our district spent a lot of money on upgrading our technology so we could do our virtual school and so on so we plan on kind of taking that money and putting it back into place and taking it to our other needs such as text books or professional development,” Hance said.

“Most all injuries and deaths occur from those being outside from flying debris,” he said, “not from actually in the homes themselves and that’s what we’re more concerned about because a lot of people wait until the last minute and the danger is a lot higher with them trying to come all the way here to the shelter.”
