I knew almost 2 years ago when I listened to the Illinois State School Board meeting they were jonesing for some $$. The entire conversation was 'black and brown children this' and 'black and brown children that'. It's not about black and brown children. It's about lining THEIR pockets.
Teachers get raises, bonuses from federal COVID relief funds meant to reopen schools safely
NEA guidance issued in June outlined how unions could claim entitlement to increased teacher compensation from federal COVID-19 emergency relief funding and school cost savings realized during the pandemic...
Schools nationwide received $190 billion through three relief packages passed. Of that total, the largest sum, $122 billion, was from President Biden's American Rescue Plan.
The federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds were ostensibly meant to reopen schools safely amid the pandemic and return students to in-person instruction. Millions, however, were used for COVID-19 bonuses, teacher pay raises, even to cover payroll, Just The News found...

Democrat stimulus and most of their Legislation is always about Union Payoffs, hidden somewhere.
That exactly what the Obama Stimulus was …. A bailout to Unions
I'd add that EVERYTHING the Dems enact, every little penny, is some kind of payoff to their supporters. And there are no more vocal supporters of them than the teacher's unions. Time to decertify those and open public schools to real competition.
If we can’t keep schools open now because of a lack of teachers and staff EVERYWHERE, I don’t see a problem with paying them more to help recruit more employees. It’s hard to keep a school open if you don’t have any staff.
That money isn't ongoing. That was a one time drop of money. Mostly used for bonuses and to cover payroll shortfalls.
They can't increase salaries as salaries are based on budgets, not windfalls from Uncle Sam.

I have no issue with funding schools but what irks me is no matter how much funding they get it's never enough and they always come back wanting more. School children are being used as pawns to get more money instead of administrators working within a budget. Never heard so much wailing about schools and teacher pay when I was growing up.
School facilities were properly maintained to help avoid expensive repairs but today the administrators seem to intentionally allow school buildings to deteriorate to the point where extensive renovations are required and beg for more money instead of budgeting annual maintenance costs as needed.
Incentives for teachers not to quit in a hard time because of covid. What's the problem?
A lot of it was used to cover budget shortfalls. That was not the intent.
The intent was to make the schools safe..you know those plexiglass separators, masks, sanitary stations, etc.
So instead these people are pocketing the money.
