The city Department of Education has allocated $350 million in federal funding to combat educational damage wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, The Post has learned.
According to a budgeting memo issued last week, the money will support a range of initiatives from literacy programs to new arts offerings.
Every school in the nation’s largest public system will receive a minimum of $75,000 and a maximum of $600,000 to aid in “academic recovery” after the pandemic upended consecutive school years.
Each recipient must dedicate at least 20 percent of its award to pay for arts-related programs, according to the memo.
While the money cannot be used to hire new full-time teachers, the document states that schools can use it to finance additional class sessions and nonprofit partnerships aimed at helping kids get back on track.
“This funding is available for expenses incurred September 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022,” the memo reads. “Schools are encouraged to schedule funds and implement eligible programming as soon as possible.”
The money will also be used to pay teachers to systematically assess the academic standing of their students and address learning gaps.

I can’t wait to hear the right wing “outrage” over this one.
Did anyone blame Trump yet ?
Eventually the dollar will collapse and put an end to all this nonsense. I never thought Id wish for that say. Todays schools are communist madrassas.
Defund all public brain washing schools.
School choice is the future for our children !
What I found interesting about this is the emphasis on funding arts programs after years of ending them.
Question is....
Has the city DOE been infiltrated with Good Guys and the tide is slowly turning? OR
Is someone from the old regime trying to save themselves?
You could say the vaccine mandate "scheduled" to begin 9/13 nixes the first possibility; OR
You could stay it's all one big sting operation.
Here's praying parents do the GUTSY thing and keep the kids out of the schools to finally break them and the Unions!
Don't rag on me for the Union statement. Kids are not the clients of the Unions. Teachers, Principals and Superintendents are the only focus of Unions.
"Non-profit partnerships," lol! There will be big, fat, heaping TONS of profits, going to fund talentless nitwits who will achieve not one thing via a whole bunch of useless make-work programs. Ain't it grand?
I can’t wait to hear the right wing “outrage” over this one.
It's a stupid waste of money that will not achieve a single thing. If it does anything at all, it will make things worse. But then, in the scheme of things what's a lousy $350M? It's not like it's real money. It's just graft going to a Democrat party constituency; graft that will be partially recycled as campaign contributions. To think that one dime of that $350M will actually make an educational difference is a laughable farce.
This is a good thing for the children to get away from the UFT radical agenda.
A big “Social Justice factory” That's what our school system has become.

Dumb ass !
No such thing as non-profits is 95/10 states like New York.
The CEOs, Administrators, Accountants, Lawyers, people at the top of the pyramid can write up take 95% as administrative costs and are only required to give 5% to the cause.
Meanwhile all the social workers, volunteers schmucks at the bottom work for nothing, include all the community service people busted for DUI, Drugs etc to avoid jail time.
Its a big racket, like all the clergy and charity bosses with driving around in Bentleys living in rented 10 million dollar homes.
Non-profits do not exists, they are all private business's masquerading to fool everybody.

You have a vendetta against public education because it left you behind. I'm sure you were the class dunce back in the old days. Did you have to wear one of those hats with a "D" on it?
NYC public schools aren't perfect but they are much better than those in the southern red states where most of the students come out like the "Anon" above. Mind you, for some FoxNews Sheeple, the only hope for a good education would be a brain transplant.
