Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law on March 27, 2020, provides funding and flexibilities for States to respond to the COVID-19 emergency in K-12 schools. In addition to providing a variety of waivers for assessments, accountability, reporting and funding carryover, the CARES Act provides an economic stimulus to individuals, businesses, and schools. On April 22, DEED issued guidance on CARES Act Funds, as well as an estimated breakdown of the funding by school district. You can also watch a recording of the CARES Act Relief Funding Informational Webinar, or view the PPT.
