The U.S. Treasury told Arizona officials on Friday it may claw back some of the state's pandemic aid funds and withhold future disbursements unless the state stops or redesigns education grant programs aimed at schools without mask mandates.
In a letter to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey's office, the Treasury said that two programs, including a $163 million grant program for schools that follow state laws banning public school mask mandates, are "ineligible uses" of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.
$10 million Arizona program deemed ineligible offers $7,000 education grants to families of students for alternative instruction if their school requires face coverings.
