The letter states that funds will be sent to each county treasurer’s office within “approximately one week from the date of this letter (March 30),” with funding to be allocated to school districts, county offices of education and charter schools based on average daily attendance. The total funding amount of $100 million equates to approximately $17.37 per ADA, with a minimum allocation of $250.
According to the letter, the priority for these funds is “health and safety needs for LEAs, including for student meal access, during COVID-19 closure periods.” Funds can be used for costs associated with maintaining nutrition services, cleaning and disinfecting facilities, personal protective equipment, and materials necessary to provide students with opportunities for distance learning.
