Schools and camps across the county are making plans to help kids catch up academically this summer after a year or more of remote learning for many of them. Several governors, including in California, Kansas and Virginia, are pushing for more summer learning.

The new $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package should help, as it allocates $122 billion in aid to K-12 public schools, including $30 billion specifically for summer school, after-school and other enrichment programs.
