Glenview Schools Get $2.7M In Coronavirus Relief Funding

GLENVIEW, IL — The three main public school districts in Glenview, and one in nearby Wilmette that includes a Glenview school, are slated to receive more than $2.7 million in grants from the second coronavirus-relief package approved last month by federal lawmakers.

That $900 billion relief package included about $2.25 billion for Illinois public school districts, more than four times the amount they received from the first federal relief package, according to Carmen Ayala, the state’s superintendent of education.

Northbrook/Glenview School District 30 is set to receive $256,829, while Northfield Township High School District 225 (includes Glenbrook South) will get $832,633, and Glenview School District 34 is slated to receive $1,424,445. Avoca School District 34, which is based in Wilmette and includes Glenview's Avoca West Elementary School, will net $201,046.

Ayala and the state board are encouraging districts to spend on their “most urgent needs,” like supplemental learning opportunities, mental health support and closing the digital divide.
