Dewey Schools Discuss CARES Act II Federal Funding

 

The Dewey Public Schools Board of Education held a discussion this week on its mid-year state aid adjustment and CARES Act II federal funding.

 

Superintendent Vince Vincent said he believes approximately 80-percent of schools in Oklahoma received a reduction in state aid at mid-year. He said Dewey Public Schools saw a $90,000 reduction for the school year. He said DPS is going to be fine and there's no doubt that they'll weather the storm.

 

When it comes to CARES Act II federal funding, Vincent said Dewey Schools will receive $826,000. Vincent said this is money that could be claimed all the way through Saturday, Sept. 30th, 2023. He said the Board has time to plan ahead, see where their needs are, and see how the money can assist the district.

 

Vincent said he does not anticipate that they would be utilizing much, if any, of the CARES Act II federal funding this fiscal year. He said he anticipates these funds being used more for the next two fiscal years that lie ahead.
