BOSTON (AP) Massachusetts and Rhode Island gained access to an additional $750 million in federal education relief Wednesday after the U.S. Education Department approved plans detailing how they will use the funding to reopen schools and get students caught up on learning.
The states are among the first 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, Utah and Washington, D.C., also had their plans accepted Wednesday.
The funding is part of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package signed in March.

Why Massachusetts Schoolchildren Shouldn’t Be Required to Wear Masks Westyn Branch-Elliman, M.D. © (David L. Ryan/The Boston Globe/Getty Images) BOSTON, MA - SEPTEMBER 11: Students wear masks at South Boston Catholic Academy in South Boston on Sept. 10, 2020. Limited students are allowed in each classroom and students must social distance and wear masks. Schools in the Boston Archdiocese have opened for in-person learning after registration spiked this summer amid the pandemic. Thomas W. Carroll, superintendent of schools for the archdiocese, said they wanted to offer families both a return to in-person learning and a remote option. Like in public school districts, all families can opt out of in-person learning in Boston Archdiocese schools. (Photo by David L. Ryan/The Boston Globe via Getty Images)
