State funds are available to aid Parental Choice Program schools in hiring or retaining social workers.

Reimbursements are permitted if the cost of the social worker’s salary or fringe benefits is higher than the previous school year. Read the DPI’s definition of “social worker” here.

Claims for the 2021-22 school year must be submitted by March 13 to be considered for reimbursement.

You will need data from the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years to fill out your request. Access the online application form here.

Contact the DPI with questions.
