CMS COVID-19 funding breakdown

The district held its first Municipal Education Advisory Committee Meeting of the year this week. The committee consists of leadership from Charlotte and surrounding townships and discussed where COVID-19 relief money has been spent.

"We look at Cares Act funding, said Katie Sunseri the CMS Federal Programs Executive Director. "This was really primarily used as sort of those immediate needs as the pandemic began."

The first payment in 2020 mostly went to remote and hybrid teaching tools, like laptops, as well as health and safety concerns including PPE. The deadline to spend this money is September 2022.
