Addendum OVERVIEW:

 

During this global pandemic, educators face new challenges this school year. As such, HEF has decided to allocate additional funding to support teachers in this time.

​

COVID-19 Addendum funding has been allocated to HELP SUPPORT TEACHERS and students adapt to the unique circumstances and new challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes distance/remote learning and the transition period for the 2020-2021 school year. It is our goal to offer help and support to online classrooms in ways that the district cannot.

The COVID-19 Addendum will not fund any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) of any kind (masks, gloves, wipes, hand sanitizers, soaps, etc.) or Personal Electronic Devices (tablets, iPads, laptop or desktop computers) for the teachers use.

This additional funding cycle will offer assistance for up to a maximum of $800.00. Due to the funding limitations, COVID-10 requests may be fully or partially funded.

​

All applicants who are awarded an HEF COVID-19 Addendum Funding are required to return any unspent funds to HEF and also to provide a completed final report including photos before May 2021. The Final Report Guidelines can be found here. Please be sure to provide your initials acknowledging your understanding of these requirements and electronically sign your application once completed. Failure to return any unspent funds and to submit a final report including any photos may prevent you from receiving future funding.

ADDENDUM Application Process: 

Each application must have a completed budget. Applications without a completed budget will not be considered. You may download the template here Itemized Budget. You will need excel to fill out the form.
