The CARES Act included more than $13 billion to help public schools cover pandemic-related costs. But U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos says those schools should use their relief money to help private school students, too.
Scott, chairman of the House education committee, said in a statement to NPR that"there is rightfully pushback" to the department's position."The actions of the Department of Education have left states and districts stuck between compliance with the law and adhering to ideologically motivated guidance," he said.
In a statement, Education Department press secretary Angela Morabito insisted the department is in the right:"Congress directed the Department to make sure all students are able to be served through the CARES Act." The statement went on to say, if school districts"were to only count Title I eligible students, they would be placing non-public school students and teachers at a disadvantage that Congress did not intend.
