The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it plans to give $10 billion to schools in order to help them expand COVID-19 testing and reopen classrooms.

The funds come from Biden’s recently-passed COVID relief bill. Health and Human Services (HHS) put out a statement that described the use of the money for testing. It detailed how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will give the funds to states to help them create ways to test teachers, staff, and students.
