AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the rules for federal Title I school funding. To keep receiving Title I funds, each local school district would have to set up a plan to pay parents directly if a Title I public school fails for more than 3 days in a school year to offer in-person instruction to all students who want it, because of a public health emergency or collective bargaining action. The payment would equal the school's Title I funding per student per school day, multiplied by the number of days in-person instruction was not offered. Parents could use the money for listed educational expenses, such as books, tutoring, online materials, and private school tuition. Parents would have to submit receipts or return unused money within 30 days after in-person classes resume.
