I will continue to work in Washington to ensure our public schools are recognized for the work they do and have the support they need so every student can thrive and achieve their educational goals.

The enacted H.R. 1319 text created the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund and appropriated $122,774,800,000 for fiscal year 2021, with grants to state educational agencies and subgrants to local educational agencies, including requirements to address learning loss and students' academic, social, and emotional needs.
Assessments
Schneider materially supported a major federal public-school funding outcome by voting for final House passage of H.R. 1319, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which enacted substantial Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding for state and local education agencies and student recovery needs. That fits the promise to work in Washington for public-school support, but the claim is broad and aspirational, so the evidence supports partial delivery rather than proof that every public school received all needed support for every student to thrive.
