Biden's 'rescue plan' promises big bucks for Oregon schools
February 21 2021
President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan would provide hundreds of millions to Oregon school districts, if passed.
President Joe Biden's stimulus package aims to provide a major boost — and big bucks — to Oregon school districts as they struggle to reopen safely.
While some may be focused on the $1,400 direct stimulus payments that will land in most individuals' wallets as part of the proposed American Rescue Plan, the gigantic $1.6 trillion package also would offer hundreds of millions of dollars to local schools.
Budget resolutions have passed both the House and Senate, but in mismatched form, and therefore the plan must undergo a budget reconciliation process before the 600-page bill lands on Biden's desk.
