The State is being given over $1.95 billion in exchange for 😷 mandates.

Missouri will get over $1.95 billion if they implement the Federal guidelines laid out by the CDC for mitigation in schools.

The program laid out by the ARP and CARES acts: https://oese.ed.gov/…/american-rescue-plan-elementary…/

The Letter to State Superintendents: https://oese.ed.gov/files/2021/03/ARP_Letter_Sec_to_Chiefs_FINAL.pdf

CDC guidelines linked in that letter: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/operation-strategy.html

If local school boards make masks optional, it threatens the allocations.

They sent letters to the states that prohibited mask mandates on schools stating how they will not receive money from the American Relief Fund. So because our state is allowing mask and vaccine mandates on children they are receiving over $1.95 billion.
