The amount paid to parents would equal the school’s per-student, per-day Title I funding rate multiplied by the number of days the school remains closed beyond the three-day threshold. Families could use the funds for certain approved "qualified educational expenses."
Those expenses include curriculum, instructional materials, books, tutoring, online education programs, private school tuition, testing fees, diagnostic tools and educational therapies for students with disabilities.
