State of Michigan: TSCC19 Grants Notice of
Eligibility and Process of Identification
Recently, the
Michigan Department of Treasury announced two COVID-19 grants for identified
K-12 grade staff who provided services to students during the school building
closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible classroom teachers will receive
a $500 grant and eligible support staff will receive a $250 grant. Checks for
this grant will come directly from the Department of Treasury to eligible staff
members during the week of February 25, 2021.
Capac
Community Schools has emailed and mailed the grant certification form 5734 to
potentially eligible teachers and support staff. Any person who executes this form is
attesting (under oath) that the information is true and certifying to
Michigan's Dept. of Treasury that all of the requirements have, in fact, been
met. It is important to note that there may be
employees that are initially qualified for the grant, but do not meet the
eligibility requirements of the grant. If you do not meet the eligibility
requirements of the grant, the district will be notifying you and if you wish
to appeal, please email Jennifer Daws at jdaws@capacschools.us no later than December 4.

continuity of learning to students during the 2019-2020 period of school
