Supporting Out-of-School Time Programs in Sioux City, IAAfter returning to full-time in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sioux City Community School District planned how to spend the district’s American Rescue Plan funds to address learning loss.

However, it quickly became apparent that the demand for these services was too great for the school district to meet on its own. School district leaders then turned to their community for help.
