Background:

The Milwaukee Public Schools is eligible to request for the carryover of unspent funding from the previous program period (6/1/2022-5/30/2023) to be transferred to the current program year (2023-2024) budget. The application for the carryover of $1.2 million in additional funding is subject to approval from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF).
The awarded funds are planned to be applied toward strategies that are of benefit to the program inclusive of additional hours for programmatic staff support and health and educational supplies. All funds are planned to be expended by the end of the budget period ending on 5/30/2024. However; there is a provision for a low-cost extension to ensure that all programming can be completed if the request for extension is needed.
