CADILLAC â Students aren t the only ones learning new things this current school year.
It is safe to say that anyone and everyone associated with schools are learning a lot during the 2020-2021 school year. That includes volunteers, parent-teacher organizations, custodians, maintenance, bus drivers, office staff, paraprofessionals, teachers, principals and superintendents. It also is safe to say this learning is the result of COVID-19.
The learning won t stop after the current school year is over. Districts have had a lot of ups and downs, opening and closings and some, albeit mostly downstate, have only recently returned to the classroom. With these changes, many in the world of education are worried about the future.
This time of year, people usually are talking about their plans to travel out of Michiganâs late winter weather for sunnier climes and the warmth of southern states.
While spring break is quickly approaching for many school districts, a recent survey has found that not as many Michiganders are willing to travel this year. Recently, AAA released the results of a travel survey conducted in January that revealed 62% of Michigan residents are uncomfortable traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main concerns include fears of getting sick (59%), new strains of the virus (51%) and the number of COVID-19 cases (49%).

He also said the risk is always out there, including within Michigan, but the assumpt
Even when it comes to COVID-19 relief funding for schools, there are winners and losers.
A recent Bridge Michigan analysis by Ron French found funds received and expected to be received by Michigan school districts in federal COVID relief can vary by more than 100-fold on a per-student basis.
Cumulative federal aid allocated to Michigan districts in two stimulus packages passed by Congress in 2020, totaling more than $1.8 billion, averages $1,272 per student. But Bridgeâs analysis found the per-pupil amounts ranged wildly, from $13,232 per student in Flint City School District to $69 per student in Northville Public Schools in Wayne County.
There are 189 school districts and charter schools receiving federal relief funds equivalent to more than $2,000 per student, and 41 getting less than $200 per student. The reason: School COVID relief funding that passed Congress in 2020 was tied to Title I guidelines, which provides funds to help low-income students, French reported.
