The Simpson County School Board met Monday, January 24, 2020 for a special called meeting to discuss spending of CARES money, Equity in Distance Learning Application, for Chrome Books. Once the SCSB approves the application, the application will be submitted to MDE. Once MDE approves the application, SCSD will place an order to purchase the Chromebooks. Per MDE and S.B.3044, the Chromebooks must be ordered by districts no later than 9/11/20.
Once Chromebooks have been received by the district and payment made to the vendors, SCSD will complete the request for reimbursement from MDE.
