Local school districts to receive pandemic relief funding By Nazarene Harris | March 8, 2021 at 10:45 PM CST - Updated March 8 at 10:45 PM
ELGIN, Okla. (TNN) - School districts getting pandemic relief funding will use the money to recoup from COVID-19 related losses.
State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister announced Friday that 88 school districts across Oklahoma will receive a total of $49 million dollars.
She says the districts received less funds than their Title 1 counterparts over the summer when federal dollars were first disbursed.
Elgin Public Schools superintendent, Nate Meraz, says despite his district not being a Title one district where at least forty percent of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, it has taken a hit from the pandemic and has been in need of funding as well.

Hydro One is committing to help its customers through these trying times.
The utility has launched an awareness campaign about its pandemic relief fund program called Connected For Life.
Spokesperson Jay Armitage says the campaign aims to promote the financial options available and backs the promise to keep customers connected.
“We know that we can connect them with our pandemic relief program or set them up on installment plans. We can help get our customers back on track when they are facing hardships,” says Armitage.
Hydro One was the first utility in Ontario to offer a pandemic relief program. Armitage says they have since returned around $5 million in security deposits to more than 4 thousand business customers.

The Minister of Finance and Economic Development Dr Thapelo Matsheka has promised to submit to Parliament the financial audit of the controversial Covid-19 national relief fund.
Dr Matsheka who has been going through baptism of fire from the opposition colleagues after delivering a budget speech last week over alleged misappropriation of funds says the audit is coming. During the budget speech, Matsheka announced that the government’s foreign reserves lost P12 billion in year with his pronouncement drawing mixed emotions with some faulting loss to corruption. But Matsheka said such funds have been not misappropriated, indicating that they have been used to finance imports and other government obligations at period characterized by Covid-19.
