San Diego Unified Avoids Layoffs Thanks To Federal Stimulus, But More Help Needed |
|
San Diego County school districts are set to receive about $390 million from the stimulus package Congress passed at the end of 2020, according to an analysis by the news outlet EdSource. San Diego Unified School District, the county’s largest district, will receive about $128 million in federal aid, but the district will need even more money if it wants to heal the academic wounds caused by distance learning, said Richard Barrera, vice president of the San Diego Unified School Board.

Even a few brief trips to cultural institutions can lift engagement, tolerance, course grades, and standardized test scores for participating students, the authors find.
