Fremont Public Schools could receive up to $3 million from the second round of federal COVID-19 relief funds later this spring.
The money could go toward several projects, such as providing technology to round out the districtâs 1:1 initiative to completing various air quality projects in buildings across the area, according to Associate Superintendent Brad Dahl.
Itâs the second round of federal funding the district has received in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, FPS received around $871,000 to address COVID-19-related issues through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed last March.

Joe Sajevic knew serving as the executive director for the Fremont Public Schools Foundation was the right place for him when he took the position in 2016.
Sajevic replaced David Pinkall, who founded the foundation, as executive director five years ago. Prior, Sajevic supervised student teachers at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Earlier in his career, Sajevic served as the principal of Fremont High School from 2001 to 2012.
Those strong ties to the school district played a large part in his decision to accept the executive director position.
âMy background with FPS really influenced me,â Sajevic said. âI really care about the system and the kids.â
