Public and tribal schools in Minnesota will have until Oct. 15 to apply for grants that will help fund COVID-19 testing programs for students and staff. The initial deadline for the program was Oct. 1.
The program, which is aimed at maximizing in-person learning, helps schools provide resources to slow the spread of COVID-19.
"Our school buildings are the very best place for our students to receive an education and to develop the important social-emotional skills that will serve them throughout their lives," Education Commissioner Heather Mueller said in a news release. "Regular COVID-19 testing can help identify new cases early, slowing the spread of the virus, which is critical as many of our youngest Minnesotans are still ineligible for vaccines."
