Wisconsin Among 5 States Suing Education Secretary Over CARES Act Funding For Schools

Wisconsin is among five states and the District of Columbia suing U-S Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.  The group of attorneys general is challenging the guidelines from DeVos on the way CARES Act funds would be distributed.  They are trying to keep a significant portion of that federal funding from going to private schools.  They argue that the money is supposed to only benefit low-income students, but that’s not the way DeVos sees it.  Joining Wisconsin and the District of Columbia as plaintiffs are California, Maine and New Mexico.
