Billings Schools on Borrowed Time to Use COVID Funding

School District 2 must use or lose its COVID relief funding by September of 2024, but the district’s Chief Financial Officer is confident that they have a solid plan to put the money to work in an efficient, mindful manner.

CFO Craig Van Nice stated that of the $50 million in funding that is being provided, there is already a plan in place to put $40 million to work. He describes the budget plan as being a “broad array” of investments and improvements.

The district plans to purchase all new curriculums for K-8 students, as well as expand the summer school program.

Van Nice also mentioned that they will be adding eleven additional interventionists to the staff at schools in the Magic City.
