- Warren Easton Charter High School has received an anonymous matching pledge of $20,000. They are working with grant funders and donors to increase the base matching. Total funding needed for infrastructure for distance learning is approximately $50,000, and summer school instruction funding needed is approximately $121,000. The expected budget for these items is as follows:
One hundred laptops and hotspot devices will add to the 150 already purchased by NOLAPS (New Orleans Public Schools) to adequately prepare for 25% of the student population being in need of these items in the future. The monthly internetservice is budgeted at 2 months for 250 devices, for a total of 500 monthly service fees.
