DES MOINES, Iowa (RI) — The State Education Department says 64 schools will receive federal coronavirus funding for mental health services. One local district, East Sac County, will be receiving $70,000 for use in what the Department’s Bradley Niebling says are a variety of services.
He says the money can also be spent on training for teachers.
Niebling says the need for these types of training and programs has increased.
He says they had 130 schools apply for the grant funding.
Niebling says there is a ten-day appeal period for those schools who did not win a grant, and then the money will go out to the schools.
