In response to the pandemic, the federal government doled out billions to state education departments, but that cash is now being cut off. Alabama will lose $2
billion in funding.
Mackey says while decisions on what will be cut will be up to each local school district, there will no doubt have to be personnel cuts. Mackey says roughly 4,000 more people, who were added with federal money, are working in state education now than before the pandemic. Positions, he says, like aids and interventionists.
Mackey raised the issue at this week's state school board meeting and gave an example of one district in North Alabama that's having to cut free after school care this upcoming school year. A service it started offering during the pandemic.
