Webinar recap: Making Sense of the American Rescue Plan – COVID Funding for K-12

Remote learning, re-opening, and acquiring the funds needed for it all is still a challenge for many schools. Looking for more funding during the pandemic? Learn how the American Rescue Plan, which is nearly 4x larger than the CARES Act from over a year ago, is helping fund schools in this time of need. 

This webinar is presented by Brian Juarez, who has more than 20 years in education as a teacher, education technology specialist, and national presenter of professional development workshops, and Jim Houliston, our education evangelist, Youtuber/podcaster, and problem solver for school challenges.
