California will receive $6.8 billion of the $54.9 billion in Covid-19 relief funding for K-12 schools through an appropriations bill President Trump signed into law Dec. 27, 2020 that includes $900 billion in covid relief funding. This database shows the estimates of the distribution of the 90 percent of funding that will be distributed based on how much a school district or charter school receives in Title I funding. Because Title I is tied to the number of low-income children in a district, the amounts will vary considerably. Gov. Gavin Newsom has discretion over how to allot the remaining 10 percent to K-12 schools.
Local Educational Agency | County | Charter | Est. $900B Covid Relief | Average daily attendance* |

* The federal government uses average daily attendance, not enrollment, when calculating Title I distributions.

Curious if there are guidelines for how the funding will be used? Or is it more at the discretion of each district? Is it meant for capital improvements or more for PPE or distance learning? Just curious!

Just curious about timing. Anyone know when the funds will be distributed to CA LEAs? This will certainly allow us to focus on LLM efforts over the summer of 2021, if it’s an allowable expenditure. I assume it’ll follow same guidelines as CARES, Round 1.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this information. Funds needed to help during this pandemic are very needed. The students and school systems will hopefully be back to a new and better normal soon.

Hmmm. And the purpose of the extra $$$$ is what? Students are not getting extra anything! Students have less of everything! Staff is still getting paid with less teaching and support services provided. With that equation, schools don’t need extra $$$. Schools need to start earning their pay! Pay the parents who are being required to be the teachers of their children at home!

This response by EmVi is very uneducated and highly offensive. I have been teaching for 19 years, have 3 of my own children, 2 of which are doing distance learning at present. I work longer hours, with an excessive amount of anxiety and stress, wondering how I can best help my students, then come home and reteach my own children who are attending class online at home by themselves all day.

To say that teachers don’t deserve their pittance of a salary is just ridiculous and shows your knowledge on the subject!

Not all the teachers want to teach from zoom but most of them yes. I just don’t like that this money goes to close schools instead to the parents. Why do I need to give up on my career to do the teacher’s job?

Have you ever taught a day in your life?!? It doesn’t sound like it. Teachers have spent a countless amount of their own personal hours making sure there is enriching digital academic curriculum for your kids. I don’t know about you but when I was growing up, I was taught by my teacher in school, then went home and my parents helped me with my homework. These days parents aren’t involved enough.

Have you ever taught a day in your life?!? It doesn’t sound like it.

I don’t know about you but when I was growing up, I was taught by my teacher in school, then went home and my parents helped me with my homework. These days parents aren’t involved enough. Until you walk the days in a teacher’s shoes, you shouldn’t pretend to know what teachers are dealing with!
