House Bill 5 from the 2022 Regular Session appropriated $30,000,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Education for school districts impacted by the December 2021 storms and tornadoes. The funding provides necessary wrap-around services to help school children and their families recover from the impact of the storms and tornadoes, including after-school services and activities held at the school or elsewhere in the community, mental health counseling services, and outside-of-school tutoring; assistance to school districts in addressing additional transportation costs; and offers of funding for the construction and repair of school building facilities that were destroyed or severely damaged.
