National Virtual Briefing on Summer Enrichment Funding Proposed for the Next COVID-19 Relief Package

Please join Senators Chris Murphy (CT) and Michael Bennett (CO), along with national out-of-school time leaders on March 3, 2021, for an update on a K-12 reconciliation bill that includes dedicated summer enrichment funding to support America’s most vulnerable students. The Senators urge Congress to include dedicated funding in the next COVID-19 relief package to support local educational agencies, community-based organizations, and municipalities to provide quality summer enrichment programs and meet additional staff needs for new programming. Leaders will speak on the newest data on COVID-19 learning disparities as well as the critical role of summer programs in responding to students’ academic, physical health and social-emotional needs.
