The Department of Health and Human Services(HSS) has further stated that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as state and local health departments will also help schools to set up these programs, and that the final allocations will be made to health departments in early April 2021.

According to Education Secretary of State, Miguel Angel Cardona, “This pandemic has taken an extraordinary toll on students, parents, educators, and schools and we know that our schools, students, and communities need help now to reopen safely and quickly, and to stay open.”

Further, he has confirmed in the media that, “These funds from the American Rescue Plan and the extraordinary steps the Department is taking to get these resources to States quickly will allow schools to invest in mitigation strategies to get students back in the classroom and stay there, and address the many impacts this pandemic has had on students -- especially those disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.”
