Federal funding to repair high-risk school buildings

Bobby Scott supported the Reopen and Rebuild America’s Schools Act, part of the Moving Forward Act, and urged lawmakers to vote for it. The proposal would provide $100 billion in direct federal spending and $30 billion in bond-issuing authority for K–12 school infrastructure, targeting high-poverty school facilities where students and staff face the greatest health risks. Scott presented the investment as a way to improve school facilities during the pandemic.

Context: The passage reports Scott’s support and a call for lawmakers to vote for the bill; it does not establish that he personally cast a vote on it.

In their own words

This legislation will invest construction funds, targeted at high-poverty school facilities that put the health of students and staff most at risk
