    This critical funding will help provide resources to respond, recover and re-establish safe environments for students. We remain in frequent contact with state and local education leaders in Texas as they assess their needs in the wake of this tragedy.

    This a crucial first step in federal funding to help the Santa Fe High School community recover. I applaud Secretary DeVos for expediting this grant, and will continue to work to ensure Santa Fe High School receives the assistance it needs. —>
