Purpose
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, school districts have modified their operations to reduce the spread of COVID-19. School district reopening plans vary, with some operating virtually one to three days each week and others operating exclusively in a virtual format. Working parents need a safe environment for their children on virtual school days and programs need additional resources to ensure they have the capacity to serve families. The School-Age Program Grant provides funding to address these concerns, so families have options for their children during the 2020-2021 school year.
