While there, he visited with Amarillo and Canyon students, teachers, and administrators to learn about how they have used federal CARES Act funds to transition to hybrid in-person and remote learning during the coronavirus pandemic.
To aid public schools during the pandemic, Sen. Cornyn supported the CARES Act, which has provided a total of $7.7 million to Amarillo area public schools. Last month, Sen. Cornyn was in Amarillo to highlight the $64 million the CARES Act has provided for the Amarillo area so far.
He first joined high school seniors from both Canyon and Randall High Schools, attending both in-person and virtually, to help teach a lesson on U.S. government. Following the government class and a discussion with Dr. Flusche on schools re-opening, Sen. Cornyn held a socially-distanced joint press conference.
Thus far, Sen. Cornyn has worked to secure $7.7 million in funding for public schools in the Amarillo area, including:
