This is a bad take on 3 levels:
1. No one is asking for increased funding, no strings attached.
2. There is a difference between one time funding and ongoing funding.

Using a portion of remaining federal relief dollars, we plan to provide every school between $100,000 and $125,000 in flexible dollars to support promising practices improving student outcomes.
Decision for use of these dollars must include input from school site councils.
