Area school officials are busy planning applications for the latest federal allocation of COVID-19 relief money.
School districts in Luzerne County and the Bear Creek Community Charter School will receive a total of $61.7 million, according to a preliminary estimate from the state Department of Education.
The funding is from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Actâs Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund passed by Congress in December. Pennsylvaniaâs allocation is $2.2 billion.
