MILFORD SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
FEDERAL EMERGENCY FUND EXPENDITURE
Working Document
Our aim with the MIlford School Department budget is to continue to provide excellent education while utilizing the Covid related funds to support the education of your children while keeping them safe.
Given the supplemental Covid related funding streams, I would like to outline the following projects that have not only ensured that students receive an excellent education, but have added value to the infrastructure of your school, making it a safe environment to learn during the pandemic. The expenditure of these funds is to supplement and not supplant our school operations during Covid. The projects must be Covid related.
CRF 1:
Additional bussing to meet CDC guidelines.
Installing/upgrading the ventilation system to meet CDC air circulation guidelines.
Sanitization and safety supplies to be able to open for in-person learning.
Additional staffing.
Student devices.
CRF 2:
Staff remote learning assistive devices.
Additional learning consumables due to inability to share materials and additional printing.
Additional PPE materials.
HVAC update of control board.
Removal of all carpeting and installation of tile (non-porous surface).

ESSERF 1:

Additional PPE materials.
Food service items to ensure safety of food preparation and distribution.
ESSERF 2:

Additional rapid tests and PPE.
Custodial sanitization supplies.
Transportation.
Increased use of electric and oil.
Food service costs.
Additional staff.
ESSERF 3 (currently):
Staffing- reduction of classroom size to adhere to CDC guidelines.
Additional oil and electric costs due to increased use in promotion of ventilation.

The expenditure of funds in ESSERF 2 and 3 will be over the course of the next three years. Do know that this is only sustainable for the next two years. After that, there would be a change in what we would need to review budgetarily.
I want to thank you all for your continued support of the Dr. Lewis S. Libby School, the students and the staff.
Sincerely,
Patricia L. Clark
