COVID-19 Spending (Prior to August 1, 2021)

Chicago Public Schools is committed to doing everything in our power to lift up students, families, and staff during the COVID-19 public health emergency. To ensure our CPS community is supported during this unprecedented crisis, the district is taking significant actions, including distributing more than 100,000 devices and providing millions of free meals for our students.

The table below tracks all projected spending through July 31, 2021, that is in direct response to COVID-19, including spending that is authorized by the emergency resolution approved at the March 2020 Board of Education meeting and spending covered by prior Board of Education authorizations. For spending after July 31, 2021, please click on the tab "COVID-19 Spending."

*Combined purchase order totals will not match the estimated expenditures shown in the table because purchase orders have not yet been created for each planned expenditure.
