College Station ISD has a survey on the district's website through the end of this week that will help determine how to spend millions in federal pandemic relief money. That link is: https://www.csisd.org/departments/business_services/e_s_s_e_r_i_i_i_notice_to_apply

CSISD's chief financial officer Amy Drozd provided an update during this week's school board meeting about how the survey will be used by those who will be involved in making spending decisions.

The third round of federal money coming to CSISD amounts to nearly $13 million dollars. Drozd said some of that has already been designated for expenses that includes summer school this year. middle school and intermediate school counselors, middle school athletic trainers, and two special education positions.

CSISD previously received almost $6 million last December and $1.4 million in March of 2020...though the first grant was offset by an equal decrease in state funding.

The board was also told that they will consider next month an administration recommendation to spend a yet to be determined portion of federal pandemic money to give returning employees a retention bonus.
