Sen. Lamar Alexander told CNBC on Tuesday the federal government should provide additional funding to schools and colleges to help them reopen for in-person class this fall.
“The surest step back to normalcy in our country is when 70-75 million college and high school and elementary school students go back to school,” the Tennessee Republican said on “Squawk Box.” “If we need more money for that, I’m for that.”
Alexander’s comments come as lawmakers debate the need for additional relief packages to offset the impact of Covid-19.
