Manage episode 413145254 series 2084684
In Tulsa, there are about 450 after-school programs at risk of shrinking to just 75 once ESSER funds are gone.
One of those programs is an after-school gardening club at Tulsa Public Schools' Eugene Field Elementary. There, each participant gets a garden box to plan, decorate, plant and harvest from throughout the school year.
Schools across the country may be on the brink of making tough calls once these "pennies from heaven" run out.
