Milwaukee Public Schools is starting to determine to how it will spend $731 million in federal stimulus aid over the next three years. It’s a big chunk of change to add to MPS’s $1.3 billion annual budget.
The MPS board is making decisions about some of the federal funding as part of its regular budgeting process for the upcoming school year.
The COVID relief funding is being distributed to schools in three waves. The first allocation, called ESSER I, was from the CARES Act, which Congress approved in the early months of the pandemic. MPS has been using the $41 million this school year for pandemic-related costs like computers for students and PPE.
