To help provide students with additional supports for their learning this year, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is distributing $8.1 million in federal emergency funds to 38 local and 2 statewide community-based organizations (CBOs).

The response to the competitive grant was overwhelming. A total of 191 requests were submitted, totaling more than $40 million in need. Given the limited funds available, this means that just $1 of every $5 requested could be awarded.

Priority was given to applications that included direct service to students – such as support for remote learning, tutoring, and social-emotional learning designed to address the unique needs of students in student groups that have historically been furthest from educational justice.
