Parental Support: Grants for Education Amid School Closures
The "Open Schools Act" aims to provide financial support to parents whose children attend elementary or secondary schools that fail to provide in-person instruction due to COVID-19. Parents could receive up to $10,000 per child to cover alternative education costs, such as private school tuition, tutoring, or homeschooling expenses. These funds would be redirected from federal money previously allocated to schools that are not offering in-person learning.
