Budget Justification-Grant Funds and Matching Funds
In 2016, the Nebraska Legislature appropriated $250,000 to be awarded through competition to partnerships of school districts and community-based organizations, and administered by the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE). This was a one-time appropriation to provide expanded learning opportunities (ELOs) through programming and other support activities and services in existing 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLCs). The project period was August 5, 2016 – June 30, 2017.
