DPI sending money to districts

The Department of Public Instruction will start sending about $5-and-a-quarter-million dollars in aid to Wisconsin schools starting May 1^st.  The money is to be used to help the districts with the transition to distance learning – where students learn at home.  It is being taken from the Common School Fund and comes in addition to another 38-million-dollar disbursement from that fund.  All of the state funding is coming in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic which has shut down all classroom learning.
