Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the award of $7.8 million in additional funding for communities hit by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
The award includes $500,000 for school district foundations to support teachers and support staff who worked to get schools back open just days after the storms, DeSantis’ office said in a news release. That award follows more than $750,000 already provided to school district support foundations in Florida that were affected by these hurricanes this season, the release said.
The Polk Education Foundation will manage the spending of the award, a spokesperson for Polk County Public Schools said.
