USD 232 in De Soto expects to receive roughly $6.2 million in federal COVID-19 relief funding. District leaders say they want to spend those funds on a wide range of initiatives that feed into academic recovery for students impacted by the ongoing global pandemic. In a presentation to the USD 232 Board of Education this week, Superintendent Frank Harwood said the school district plans to spend the funds on several key areas:

  • Summer learning and supplemental after-school programs
  • Addressing learning loss among students, including vulnerable populations
  • Mental health services and supports
  • Providing school leaders with resources to address individual school needs
