<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Remote public schooling costs:</span></u></b> Several regions, including Region 10, have been asking follow up questions regarding the previous determination that costs incurred
by jurisdictions to provide distance learning are not eligible. The answer from HQ is (also included in attached Q and A): “These costs are still considered increased operating costs. Temporary relocation of essential services is tied to setting up a temporary
facility to provide the service. In this case, there is no temporary facility. The requested costs are for equipment and supplies which, for some schools/school districts, is an increased operating cost. As the school is not providing a service that is necessary
to save lives or protect public health and safety, the increased costs are not eligible under PA. There is a possibility that funding for this purpose becomes available through the Department of Education.”<span style="color:#1F497D">

and don’t hesitate to reach out if further clarification is needed. In general, activities local and state governments are conducting at Community Based Testing Sites are eligible for reimbursement under the Public Assistance program, subject to a cost share.
Government officials will need to be careful to document costs incurred using the cost eligibility requirements found at page 21-42 of the FEMA Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide. More information on what COVID-19 activities are eligible for reimbursement
under the Public Assistance Program can be found in the “COVID-19 Pandemic: Eligible Emergency Protective Measures Fact Sheet” (<a href="https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2020/03/19/coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-eligible-emergency-protective-measures">https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2020/03/19/coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic-eligible-emergency-protective-measures</a>
