Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) is a program that helps children who would have received free or reduced-price meals at school if not for the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting as soon as Friday, students who qualify will receive a debit card preloaded with funds that can be used for groceries.
For the 2020-21 school year, schoolchildren must meet two important eligibility requirements:
-
Children must have been enrolled in a school district that participates in a federal meal program where meals are served at a school, and
- Children must qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on income and have turned in the free or reduced-priced meals application to school for 2020-21, OR be enrolled in a school that participated in the Community Eligible Provision, Provision 2 or Provision 3 federal program in 2020-21.
See a list of participating schools.
There is no application process for these benefits. Families will receive benefits automatically if their school has identified to the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) that a student qualifies.
To learn more about eligibility requirements, what role your school plays in the program, and other details about P-EBT, OSDE developed a set of Frequently Asked Questions.
Please share these documents with your staff and your families.
Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) help students with disabilities get an early start in identifying career interests to achieve community integration, independence, post-secondary education, and/or competitive integrated employment.
See Pre-ETS Fact Sheet for more information.
OSDE sponsored events, professional development, and conferences are beneficial to special education teachers and staff. Additionally, Project 613 does not have a deadline to submit an application. Districts can submit an application at any time.
Please Note: All upcoming activities and events are subject to being rescheduled, canceled, or move to an online format. Information about any changes will be posted to the listserv.
