The U.S. Department of Education, Office of Safe and Healthy Students (OSHS), in collaboration with the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments, will host a webinar on new guidance regarding flexibility for grantees and program partners affected by recent natural disasters.
The guidance that will be the subject of the webinar discusses waivers and other forms of relief from Federal requirements in order to provide schools, State educational agencies (SEAs), State lead agencies (LAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), local early intervention service (EIS) programs and providers, State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies, the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Education-funded schools, Tribes, and postsecondary institutions with the operational flexibility necessary to continue operations as they recover from extended school or program closures due to a disaster. The guidance addresses flexibility on reporting deadlines, timelines for grant-funded activities, and maintenance of fiscal effort or matching requirements, where applicable; proposes potential alternatives and strategies for providing program services after disruption; and suggests methods for ensuring continuity of services and communication with program participants.
