Reporter: THIS SCHOOL YEAR,
ALYSSA BARNES MOM AND TEACHER.
SHE HAD TO MAKE HARD CHOICES
WHEN IT CAMES TO HER SON
STARTING KINDERGARTEN.
BECAUSE HE IS IN THE PANDEMIC,
HE'S IN HOMESCHOOL.
I HAD TO LEAVE MY JOB
BECAUSE HE HAS SENSORY
PROCESSING DISORDER WHICH MEANS
HE WOULD NOT SET IN FRONT OF A
COMPUTER FOR FIVE HOURS A DAY.
TURNING THIS ROOM INTO A
CLASSROOM IS NOT CHEAP.
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S THINGS
WE NEED LIKE A MICROSCOPE AND
THE GLOBE.
HE WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW
EXPENSIVE A GLOBE IS ON AMAZON.
Reporter: WITH ALL THE
CHANGES, SOURCES OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY SAY THAT REPUBLICAN
LEADERS ARE SENDING STIMULUS
CHECKS.
THE CHECKS WOULD BE FOR AT
LEAST $200 AND COULD BE ONE
FLAT AMOUNT PER FAMILY OR PER
CHILD.
WHAT'S MORE CERTAIN IS A
PLANNED INCREASED UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS OF $50 A WEEK FOR THE
REST OF THE YEAR.
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE AND
SENATE AGREE TO THAT.
TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE HURTING
OUT THERE.
SO MANY ARE STRUGGLING TO FILL
OUT HOW TO PUT GROCERIES ON THE
TABLE.

STATE CAN'T AFFORD.

IT'S POURING RAIN OUT THERE WE
NEED TO HELP THROUGH JOBLESS
