As earlier reported, millions of dollars in federal and state grants for nonpublic schools are set to expire and be returned to the government, should they not be used.
The grants are for Security, Nursing, Technology, and Textbooks.
The following letter was sent out by the District Superintendent:

Good Afternoon,
I hope this email finds you well!
I have attached to this email, each School’s balances for Nonpublic Security, Technology, Nursing and Textbooks (as of today).
