FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) â The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education will award up to $500,000 in competitive grants this fall to help educator preparation programs increase the number of K-12 teachers in Kentucky from underrepresented groups.
The funding program, announced Monday, is a part of the Governorâs Emergency Education Relief Fund, or GEER II, which aims to help campuses mitigate the impact of COVID-19. The funds are available through a partnership with the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet and originate from the federal CARES Act.
âThe future of our commonwealth is in Kentuckyâs classrooms,â said Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman, who is also secretary of the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. âI am excited to see our education preparation programs use this funding to recruit, train and support a talented and diverse workforce.â
ATLANTA â Gov. Brian Kemp announced the availability of $47 million in the Governorâs Emergency Education Relief Fund, beginning Sunday. The Office of Planning and Budget will distribute the resources through an application process.
The purpose of the GEER II Fund is to provide local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and other education related entities with emergency assistance needed as a result of COVID-19.
âAs we reflect on the past school year, Georgiaâs education system has withstood many challenges and remained resilient,â Kemp said. âThis second round of GEER dollars will help us make strategic investments in our education system to empower our school leadership, support staff, teachers and students.â
