GREENE CO., Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)– Indiana public schools received a combined total of nearly $1.8 billion from the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan.
Vigo County received $30 million, Vincennes received $6 million and Eastern Greene came out with just over $1 million in federal funding.
Trent Provo, Eastern Greene Schools superintendent, said they’ve began discussing several spending options.
“I think this next round is going to focus on cleaning and making sure we’re doing a good job with cleaning,” he said. “Some social emotional training for staff students and parents. A lot of the other planning is still to come.”
