Rubio: Relief Money Shouldn’t Go to Schools That Aren’t Open
Schools that won’t reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic shouldn’t get funding from COVID-19 relief bills, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said this week.
“There shouldn’t be any federal taxpayer money of COVID relief going to schools that aren’t open. The purpose of the money is to open the schools. If the schools aren’t going to open, we shouldn’t send you the money,” Rubio said on “Fox News Primetime.”
Congress has already approved billions of dollars in relief funding to schools. President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion proposal calls for an additional $170 billion for K-12 schools and colleges.
