The U.S. Department of Education launched a new grant competition in April to help states struggling with providing equitable access to remote learning, especially during the coronavirus pandemic.

The $180 million discretionary Rethink K–12 Education Models Grant will be available to states most affected by the coronavirus so they can “create adaptable, innovative learning opportunities” for all K–12 students, according to a press release from the Department of Education. It is funded by the Education Stabilization Fund under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which also authorized $127.5 million for short-term postsecondary and work-based learning programs.

“If our ability to educate is limited to what takes place in any given physical building, we are never going to meet the unique needs of every student,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in the press release.
