“The closure of K-12 schools impacts all parents. But we have a special responsibility to ensure parents working on the front lines of this pandemic have access to the child care they need while they’re on the job,” Reed said in a statement. “This funding may be used by the state to help essential workers and keep child care centers afloat.”
