The California Department of Education (CDE) has released a guidance letter to Chief Business Officials, Food Service Directors, and CALPADS Administrators regarding 2020-21 requirements for collecting free and reduced-price meal (FRPM) eligibility data for purposes of the Local Control Funding Formula Supplemental and Concentration Grants.

Use of LLMF Resources
To CBOs,
As the CDE continues to encourage LEAs to spend their Learning Loss Mitigation Funds (LLMF), and with the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) expenditure deadline coming up on December 30, districts may wish to consider using LLMF to pay for COVID-19 surveillance testing of staff. This would have the double benefit of using the monies to cover appropriate costs and would also remove additional pressure on medical renewal rates, since such testing adds to claim costs when run through medical insurance.
Some districts may not have sufficient LLMF funds to make this a practical consideration, and others may have spent their funds already, but this is an idea that is beginning to gain traction throughout the state. If you have any questions about this option, please contact me directly.
