There are two allocations for the EANS program: EANS I is $2.75 billion allocated to nonpublic elementary and secondary schools as part of the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER II) fund under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act (Dec 2020). EANS I funding is prioritized to those non-public schools that enroll low-income students and are most impacted by COVID-19. Reimbursements for allowable expenses incurred since March 13, 2020 are permitted. EANS II is a second round of an additional $2.75 allocated as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act (March 2021). Under EANS II a State Education Agency (SEA) provides services or assistance to non- public schools that enroll a significant percentage of children from low-income families and are most impacted by COVID19. EANS funds may not be used to provide reimbursements for costs incurred by non-public schools.
