0:50Now PlayingU.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) announced at George H.W. Bush New Tech Odessa High School that public schools in the Midland-Odessa region so far have been allocated $8.8 million in federal coronavirus relief resources from Congress. While there, he visited with Odessa 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 more than $8.8 million to public schools in Midland and Odessa.
Earlier this month, Sen. Cornyn was in Midland to highlight the $61 million the CARES Act has provided for the Permian Basin area so far.
He first joined a high school freshmen world geography class, with students attending both in-person and virtually, to help teach a lesson and hear about their experience starting school. Following the class and a discussion with Ector County ISD leadership on schools re-opening, Sen. Cornyn then held a socially-distanced joint press conference.
