Safe Schools Reopening Grant (SSRG)
Overview
In addition to CRF distribution to districts, CDE managed the Safe Schools Reopening Grant (SSRG) in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). This $15 million in one-time grant funding provided local educational agencies (LEAs - school districts and BOCES) with public schools struggling to return to in-person learning.
