Novi Middle School hosted a news conference Thursday to announce the Oakland Together Schools COVID-19 Support Program.
County executive administration and the board of commissioners will allocate $28 million of federal CARES Act funds to support public and charter schools‘ plans for reopening safely so students, families, and staff may begin the school year confidently in the midst of the pandemic.
This will bring the county’s total support for schools to $30 million after it appropriated $2 million to hire over 60 public health nurses to work with schools through the end of the year.
The Novi Community School District offered a hybrid and virtual option to start the school year. A grant process will be used to allocate the $28 million. In June, the Oakland County Health Division and Oakland Schools began collaborating on a $2 million COVID-19 school nurse initiative to give students, parents, school faculty and staff confidence they will be safe when school resumes.
Superintendent Dr. Matthews thanked County Executive David Coulter at the news conference.
"In order for us to communicate with our families that this is a safe in-person experience, we have to provide personal protective equipment such as a mask," Matthews said. "We also have to provide disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer, and all of those things cost money."
