COVID-19 Information
Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit K-12
When North Carolina students return to school, they’ll do so under a plan to limit on-campus attendance, Gov. Roy Cooper announced July 14. Districts must offer online learning for students who are at higher health risks or who choose not to return. Districts can choose a fully-remote option if the infection rates in their area are high.
Title IV Success Stories
The funds below were allocated during the 2018-2019 school year.
NC: $53,820 in Title IV-A funds were utilized in Davidson County and allocated to teachers in the district by area and allowed complete voice and choice in how to best utilize the funds as long as they followed federal and state guidelines.
The funds below were allocated during the 2017-2018 school year.
NC: Title IV-A funds were utilized in Davidson County to provide another quality instrument (tuba) for children to use in class. Now, students are having to use old instruments that are no longer high quality and do not work well. Because they will have a tuba to work with at school, one of the older ones can be taken home by students to be used as practice horns. Funding was also utilized in Davidson County to purchase music for choral students, instruments for general music students, professional development and staffing.
