Schools to receive COVID funds
Schools in Haddonfield have been designated to receive $111,729 in
Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds, through the federal
government’s CARES Act.
The funds are intended to help offset expenses incurred in connection with
the coronavirus pandemic.
Although schools in New Jersey have been closed since mid-March, public
and private schools have been hit with unexpected expenses, including
increased cleaning costs before the closures. Some districts and schools also
purchased laptops or WiFi access for students to help with the shift to remote
learning.
Locally, the public schools will receive $95,193. The other $16,536 earmarked
for Haddonfield will be divided between Haddonfield Friends School and Christ
the King Regional School.

When you shop online, in big-box stores, or dine at
out-of-town restaurants, your money leaves Haddonfield
immediately, and doesn’t come back.
But when you shop in town, the businesses you patronize
spend some of that money locally. They also support
community, sports, and school organizations and activities.
Keep your cash in your community!
