Maryland school leaders are expressing concern over the potential loss of millions of dollars in pandemic aid. The federal relief funds, which were allocated to help schools navigate the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, are set to expire at the end of this year. School administrators fear that if the aid is not extended, they will be left to grapple with significant budget shortfalls and staffing cuts.
Maryland’s State Superintendent of Schools, Mohammed Choudhury, has highlighted the importance of this aid in supporting schools as they work to address the learning loss experienced by students during the pandemic. Without this funding, schools may struggle to provide the necessary resources and support to help students catch up on missed instruction.
Educators and lawmakers are calling on Congress to take action to extend the pandemic aid, citing the critical role it plays in ensuring that schools can continue to provide a high-quality education to students. The potential loss of this funding represents a significant threat to the stability and effectiveness of Maryland’s education system.
