A breakdown of how much each Alabama public school system will receive from the third round of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds is now available.
Of the about $2 billion in federal dollars allocated to the state, 90% will go directly to districts, with those considered the neediest based on poverty levels within the system receiving a larger portion — a stipulation made by the federal government.
Additionally, districts have to spend 20% of the funding toward addressing learning loss through summer learning and enrichment programs, extended-day or extended-year programs and after-school programs, a release from the Alabama Department of Education states.
