First Lady Jill Biden and U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will visit Athens on Thursday. The visit comes as part of a three-state tour promoting how President Biden's American Rescue Plan (ARP) is supporting students in getting caught up through summer learning programs.
The First Lady and Secretary Cardona will travel to summer learning and enrichment programs in Connecticut, Michigan, and Georgia that use funding from the ARP to address the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on students’ academic and mental health needs.
Biden is scheduled to visit a Horizons National summer learning program, held at the University of Georgia and serving students from Barnett Shoals Elementary School.
