WASHINGTON – On Monday, U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan will hold a virtual discussion with New Hampshire teachers, schools administrators, city leaders, and parents to discuss the challenges that school districts and families are facing as they prepare for the fall amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Hassan is working to support students and teachers during this public health emergency and joined in introducing legislation to provide $430 billion to support child care facilities, K-12 schools, and higher education institutions during the pandemic. Senator Hassan previously joined the rest of the New Hampshire Congressional Delegation in announcing $82 million in March to support New Hampshire schools, colleges, and universities as part of the bipartisan CARES Act. Senator Hassan has also called for greater support for students who experience disabilities in upcoming COVID-19 response legislation, and cosponsored legislation to help ensure that all K-12 students have adequate home internet connectivity and devices during the crisis. Last month, Senator Hassan held a virtual roundtable with New Hampshire teachers on remote teaching.
