Emergency assistance for non-public schools

The South Carolina Office of the State Treasurer received a $39,981,327 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Education Stabilization Fund program (CFDA 84.425). The grant will provide emergency assistance to non-public schools in South Carolina from February 2021 through September 2022 to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the funding will deliver services and support to non-public schools across the state as they work to address health and safety needs, facilitate distance or hybrid learning models, and mitigate learning loss due to coronavirus-related school closures or interruptions. The $39.9 million grant award and nearly 1.5 year period of performance indicate a substantial level of funding and services for South Carolina non-public schools dealing with COVID-19 impacts.
