Abstract: Under the current unprecedented national health
emergency, the legislative and executive branches of government have
come together to offer relief to those individuals and industries
affected by the COVID-19 virus under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and

the

legislative and executive branches of government have come together to
offer relief to those individuals and industries affected by the COVID-
19 virus under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act (Pub. L. 116-136) authorized on March 27, 2020, and
expanded through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental
Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. The
Governor's Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER Fund) awards grants to
Governors (States) and Outlying Areas for the purpose of providing
local educational agencies (LEAs), institutions of higher education,
and other education-related entities with emergency assistance as a
result of the coronavirus pandemic. This information collection
includes annual reporting requirements to comply with the requirements
of the GEER program and obtain information on how the funds were used
by State and Local Education Agencies, institutions of higher
education, and other education-related entities. On 2/10/2022, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the emergency collection
which included two additional questions to address the expenditure of
GEER funds directly by the Governor's office (or another entity, such
as the SEA, designated as the administrator of the GEER fund by the
Governor's office). The Department is now requesting approval for a
three-year clearance. There is no change from the emergency collection
except for clarifying changes. To view the recently approved questions,
please refer to Attachment A.
