American rescue plan - emergency assistance to non-public schools

The State of Alabama Department of Finance received a $44.9 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education on February 16, 2022. The grant funding will support the American Rescue Plan - Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools program through September 30, 2023. This program, administered under the Education Stabilization Fund (CFDA 84.425), aims to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic by providing emergency assistance to non-public elementary and secondary schools. As the primary grantee, the Alabama Department of Finance will oversee delivery of products and services to non-public schools throughout Montgomery, Alabama using the formula grant funds during the 18-month project period. The Alabama Department of Public Health is listed as a sub-awardee, indicating it may assist with certain outputs to further the program's goals at the local level.
