Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement with Dickinson Independent School District (DISD) to allocate $35,452.95 of the City of League City’s Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) to DISD to assist with their cost share for “Operation Connectivity” (Emergency Management Coordinator)
Background:
Council approval of this interlocal agreement will allocate $35,452.95 of the City’s CARES Act Corona virus relief funds to DISD to assist with their cost share for “Operation Connectivity”.
In July, DISD participated in “Operation Connectivity Bulk Purchase Local Match Program” to purchase eLearning and home internet solutions for students. This included Verizon hot spots, laptops, and Chromebooks for student use. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) provided a 50 percent match program to DISD using TEA CRF funds. TEA has expanded fund matching by $1 for every additional $1 of local jurisdiction CRF monies DISD receives.
DISD is requesting that the City contribute $35,452.95 of the City’s 25% allocation cap categories to the local match opportunity by TEA. Bay Colony Elementary, Calder Road Elementary, and the Lobit Education Village are part of DISD, are located within League City, and 20.5 percent of the DISD student enrollment lives in League City. When added to the expanded dollar for dollar match now available from TEA, the monies account for a representative 20.5 percent of the unreimbursed DISD expenses incurred for “Operation Connectivity”
