All PSUs are encouraged to read through the grant details. A few important notes about both:
- The grants are specific to the 2023-2024 school year and must be fully spent with all related purchases/services fully delivered by September 30th, 2024.
- Both grants are tied to remaining ESSER 3 funds, so there remains the need to connect to pandemic recovery.
- The grants are similar to ones from the previous budget, but each does have some changes. Please read the new budget details, guidelines and criteria closely. Let us know any questions you have about either grant opportunity.
Please reach out with any questions. As soon as the applications are ready within CCIP we will reach out to all PSUs, in the meantime look over these wonderful opportunities and the specifics for each.
