Is it already approved?

According to ValueWalk, the proposal is not authorized yet. Once approved, those people with low income would qualify. Recipients must either be parents or guardians of children studying in public city schools. No guidelines about income have been announced yet. However, this proposal must first take measures in order to be approved. The most important is the voting at the board level. Some officials think that there are already many services that are of assistance to the people. Other officials also question if the program can carry on on its own even after the federal government’s funding from the pandemic stimulus package is no longer received.
