MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – Governor Tony Evers is directing $110 million in federal coronavirus relief money to schools.
In a news release the Governor said…
“This $110 million investment is an opportunity for schools to invest directly into programming to help students both in and out of the classroom, allowing schools to hire additional educators and staff, provide more educational and extracurricular opportunities, invest in mental health supports, buy art supplies or computers, or keep the lights on — whatever they need and, most importantly, whatever our kids need. I’ve always said what’s best for our kids is what’s best for our state, and these funds will go a long way toward helping ensure our kids get the services and resources they need to rebound and recover.”
The funds will result in an additional $133.72 per student, the governor’s office said. All Wisconsin school districts will receive funds.
The Green Bay school district is set to receive $2.8 million, Appleton schools $1.9 million and the Oshkosh district $1.3 million.
