Three
Wyoming districts receive hurricane assistance
Three
Wyoming
school districts have received a total of $79,500 in reimbursement from
the U.S. Department of Education’s Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced
Students program.
Sweetwater 1 received $4,500, Teton
received $25,500 and Uinta 1 received $49,500 in funding. Each received
funding based on how many students they aided during the 2005-06 school
year. A total of a little more than $878 million was distributed
nationwide through the aid program.
The program provided financial assistance
to local education agencies serving children and youth displaced by
Hurricane Katrina or Rita. The reimbursement was to address the
education and related needs of these students.
On average
Wyoming
schools accommodated 13 displaced students as a result of the hurricanes
last year. |
