The State Board of Education is extending the deadline for families who received online learning grants to file for reimbursements.

The deadline for Strong Families, Strong Students grant recipients to file for reimbursements has been extended from Wednesday Dec. 30 until Friday Jan. 8, State Board spokesman Mike Keckler said.

The state added the extra time because the vendor, ClassWallet, only first notified grant recipients last week. Many of the families who received grants are filing for reimbursements for things like computers or internet connectivity service. It takes time to find the proper receipts and paperwork and file for reimbursement, Keckler said.
