How will Gloucester County schools split $41M in federal relief?
Gloucester County public school districts can expect more than
$41 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds to get students back in buildings and on track academically after more than a year of learning disruptions.
Funding is part of the
$1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act signed by President Joe Biden in early March. A
$112 billion chunk of the COVID-19 rescue plan is earmarked for American K-12 schools.
New Jersey s Department of Education will receive
$2.765 billion to allocate to school districts.
Paulsboro will receive the highest amount of funding –
$5.4 million – under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund in the ARP Act. The funding formula is based on Title 1 No Child Left Behind standing and other factors.
