History

The purpose of the program is to provide services or assistance to eligible private nonprofit schools (PNPs) to address educational disruptions caused by COVID-19. By creating a separate reservation of funds for this purpose, Congress reiterated the need for PNPs to participate in emergency education relief programs by establishing a separate program under GEER II, rather than relying on the equitable services requirements that typically apply to elementary and secondary formula grant programs. Consequently, school districts are not required to provide equitable services for funds received under the CRRSA Act, though equitable services requirements continue to apply to CARES Act ESSER I program.
