TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
§ 9903
education system’s failure to provide in-person learn-
ing options.
Students whose families pay tuition for their edu-
cation are also facing significant hardships due to the
economic disruptions caused by the pandemic. Scores
of private schools, including approximately 100 Catho-
lic schools, have permanently closed since the onset of
COVID–19, and more than half of our Nation’s private
schools are believed to have lost enrollment due to the
pandemic. These closures and declining enrollments are
harmful to students, bad for communities, and likely to
impose increased strain on public school systems.
I am committed to ensuring that all children of our
great Nation have access to the educational resources
they need to obtain a high-quality education and to im-
proving students’ safety and well-being, including by
empowering families with emergency learning scholar-
ships.
SEC. 2. Providing Emergency Learning Scholarships for
Students. The Secretary of Health and Human Services
shall take steps, consistent with law, to allow funds
available through the Community Services Block
Grant program to be used by grantees and eligible enti-
ties to provide emergency learning scholarships to dis-
advantaged families for use by any child without access
to in-person learning. These scholarships may be used
for:
(i) tuition and fees for a private or parochial school;
(ii) homeschool, microschool, or learning-pod costs;
(iii) special education and related services, including
therapies; or
(iv) tutoring or remedial education.
SEC. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

partment or agency, or th
