LEAs may seek reimbursement for eligible costs incurred during this period, up to the maximum amount designated for each LEA. All costs are subject to a 25% matching requirement.

How to Apply
The application period is now open and will continue through September 30, 2020. Please note that all reimbursement requests must also be submitted by this deadline.
Program Overview and Training
Training and further information on this funding will be provided in a Zoom webinar Monday – Friday from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. During this training, TDEM will provide an overview of the CRF program for local education agencies as well as a walkthrough of the Grants Management System (GMS).
