It is important to remember that all numbers, including spreadsheets from a variety of sources are preliminary. To date we have not received definitive spreadsheets for the state or individual SAUs from the U.S. Department of Education. We are continuing to research the details of this package and there are several areas where we will need guidance from USDE regarding eligibility for certain funds and how they can/must be applied. For all these reasons, we urge utmost caution in drawing conclusions about what funds may be received and what they may be used for. We will continue to provide details as they emerge.
