The state Department of Education expects to use some of $110 million in coronavirus relief funding from the American Rescue Plan to provide summer enrichment program grants, extend contracts with online learning platforms and establish a statewide model curriculum, according to a report released Wednesday.
It will also set aside about $5 million to cover coronavirus-related costs for a handful for small, rural districts ineligible for education aid through the ARP funding formula, as well as Connecticut’s three endowed academies.
