Extended Learning and Integrated Student Supports (ELISS) Competitive Grant Program On May 4, 2020 the 2020 COVID-19 Recovery Act, HB1043, was passed to allow the state of North Carolina to assist local governments, communities, families, workers, and other individuals and businesses in accessing federal relief and recovery funds related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In HB1043 Section 3.3(18) pg. 9-10 the legislation allocated $5 million for the Extended Learning and Integrated Student Supports Competitive Grant program. However, since the original source of these funds were from the federal government in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, these funds have a limited period of availability in that all funds allocated must be incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020 and ends on December 30, 2020. Due to the adjusted language of HB1043 and timeframe for implementation, the FPMS Division created an ELISS Application Addendum for the 47 nonprofit organizations to adjust their previously submitted grant proposals to ensure expenditures incurred were due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID-19 and to ensure all proposed extended learning and/or integrated student supports programs will be serving at-risk students whose learning has been negatively affected by COVID-19.
