Maryland State Department of Education Announces Additional COVID-19 Relief Grants
\n<\/strong>for Maryland Schools and Universities
\n<\/strong>Awarding $10 Million in Grants to Support Innovative Education Solutions During COVID-19 Pandemic<\/em><\/p>\n

BALTIMORE <\/strong>\u2014The Maryland State Department of Education today announced $10 million in grant awards to support Maryland schools and universities as they continue to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

These grants are being awarded through federal CARES Act funding to local school systems, public schools, nonpublic schools, as well as public and private universities that demonstrate unique strategies to address academic accessibility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant recipients have presented creative strategies to support disengaged students, students with disabilities, teachers, and families in need. Priority for funding was given to programs that address the needs of at-risk students.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur priority during this uncertain time is to keep the classroom accessible to our students while also keeping them safe,\u201d said Karen B. Salmon, Ph.D., State Superintendent of Schools. \u201cWe are pleased to support efforts by these institutions to bridge gaps created by the pandemic, and maintain connections between educators and students as we navigate learning in an online environment together.\u201d
