Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa schools will receive a total of $77,092 from the CARES Act, which stands for Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security in 2020-2021.
These funds come in two forms. One is called the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief or (GEER), and the other is Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief or (ESSER).
GEER funds can only be used for Technology or Summer School programming. B-B-E will receive $10,235 in GEER Funds.
ESSER funds can be more widely used for relief from the impact of the Coronavirus on the district. BBE will receive $66,875.
The following are allowable uses of the funds:
• Providing K-12 students with internet and technology for distance
learning
• Helping with students from low-income families and students with
special needs
• Planning & providing online summer learning programs
• Providing school meals
• Providing mental health services
• Sanitizing school buildings
The application for these funds will be done sometime in 2020-21. No decision has been made yet on how B-B-E will expense these funds.
