A stalemate between the federal government and the states over education funding owed since the pandemic has seen a breakthrough.
On Monday, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced that the U.S. Department of Education has released $11.58 million in federal K-12 funding for 20 Vermont school districts and the Vermont Agency of Education.
The funding, promised since the Covid-19 pandemic, has been delayed for more than a year, said Sanders, who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.
