Three other laws: the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act; the law of complementary credits for intervention and relief against the coronavirus; and the U. S. Rescue Plan Act: most of the funds.

Peterson said the CARES Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020, provided $2. 2 trillion in federal financial assistance and the total amount allocated to Alexandria public schools just over $1. 4 million.

The CARES Act cash was split into 3 major investment resources for the school district, adding the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund ($43,805), the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER I) ($337,098), and the Coronavirus Relief Fund ($1. 05 million).

All cash provided to the school district must be spent on certain dates, as dictated by the source of investment. For example, cash from the Coronavirus Relief Fund had to be spent before December 31, 2020, while the ESSER I budget had to be exhausted. until September 30, 2022.

As of Jan. 17, 100% of the CARES Act budget had been spent, Peterson said.
