SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - The cost of COVID-19 has been large, especially for schools.
The Savannah-Chatham County Public School Board got a look at the budget on Wednesday and how federal funding will impact their future.
The pandemic undoubtedly added costs to so many areas. Within the school district, it was for PPE, cleaning supplies, staff, and so much more.
âWeâre alright right now thanks to the CARES Act. The CARES Act 1, 2 and the American Recovery Act. We are [thankful] for that or I would be very concerned, weâre going to be OK,â SCCPSS Budget Director Paige Cooley said.
