Updated Jan 15, 2021;
Pennsylvania K-12 school districts and charter schools are poised to receive a combined $2.2 billion in federal stimulus funds to support food programs, technology and other education services.
Gov. Tom Wolf announced the funding on Friday. It is tied to the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act’s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund passed by Congress last month.
“All schools have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and I commend school communities for rising to the challenge to combat the toll it has taken,” the governor said in a statement. “This extra funding is critical to help schools meet the unique needs of educating students at this time while keeping school buildings safe when students return to the classroom.”
