After a full year of interruptions and expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the local school districts, an additional stimulus package was slated to be provided to districts across Texas but has since been delayed at the state level.
According to the American Rescue Plan stimulus funding package, LISD and UISD are expecting to receive $115,268,000 and $126,222,000, respectively. These funds would have compounded the federal funding districts expected to receive last year that were instead used by the state throughout its budget to soften the impact of the pandemic and not on school districts.
