The covid relief money was used for annually anticipated and normal budget expenditures: technology purchases and upgrades, security upgrades, instructional materials and professional training, capital projects, out of district tuition, etc. Link to influx of covid relief money that went to the Lodi Board of Education:

Lodi residents need to be asking why Lodi school taxes were raised during the past 2 years with so much state aid and covid relief money pouring into the district.
Doug Petty, Dennis Frohnapfel, and the board
members that didn’t bother to read any budgets are using additional aid for normal
expenses while using your tax dollars to pad the pockets of the Superintendent,
BA, and relatives of school board members. All while operating with
no transparency.
