The Federal government has enacted multiple pieces of legislation containing covid-related funding for schools. While this funding is expected to reach many of the school districts in the Commonwealth, the MSBA is not charged with overseeing the allocation or facilitating the disbursement of these funds. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will play a role in the allocation and disbursement of these funds. DESE has designated a liaison for each school district in the Commonwealth.
For more information about federal funding, please contact the appropriate district liaison from the list found here: https://www.doe.mass.edu/federalgrants/liaisons.xlsx. Alternatively, you may email federalgrantprograms@mass.gov.
