Amazon Dollars Explained

As you may recall, I recently asked about the $2M that Amazon had donated - via the Alliance for Education - to SPS "student needs."  I had wondered where it went; here you go. (Bold mine)

From: Superintendent Sent: Monday, December 10, 2018 1:19 PM
Subject: Right Now Needs Funds

Dear School Leaders:

We are excited to provide further information on the Right Now Needs Fund, the new fund created by Amazon and the Alliance for Education. This resource provides every school in Seattle Public Schools access to a designated individual fund to support the basic needs of students, especially students impacted by poverty. The goal of the fund is to provide fast, flexible support to reduce the most basic barriers to learning.

The tenets guiding the fund are as follows:

1. The Right Now Needs Fund will help school communities meet one-time or short-term urgent needs of students, to enable full participation and engagement in classroom and educational activities.
2. Students shall directly benefit from expenditures.
3. Ongoing school costs such as staffing or other items typically covered in school budgets are not eligible for support from the fund. The fund cannot serve as a replacement for existing budgeted school expenditures.

Examples of appropriate uses for the fund include but are not limited to: food for students and families in need, cold-weather clothing, and school supplies for students.

Each school is receiving a baseline amount of $1000 plus an additional distribution based on the number of students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch program as of October 2018. Attached please find a list of all Seattle Public Schools, their designated individual fund amount and account number. (Editor's note; I'll ask for this list.)

Principals are the final authorizers of requests for funds, but recommendations for support can be made by any member of the school community. The Alliance is working on creating on-line tools for making fund requests, but for now, please utilize the request form attached. Requests can be for reimbursement (please save and include receipts), or to pay vendor invoices. Please make sure any requests align with the tenets of the fund.

Alliance staff are available to offer support and guidance with regard to accessing funds. If you have questions or need information, please call 206-343-0449 or email RightNowNeeds@alliance4ed.org. Please also check the Alliance website at www.alliance4ed.org for updates on resources and other news.

We are so fortunate to have these partners in our work.

Sincerely,

Office of the Superintendent

I am a bit puzzled that previously, Budget said the Alliance would make decisions.  It doesn't sound like that but I will try to get clarification.
