Instructions, guidance or direction given to the students regarding emergency funding was as follows:

The initial instruction on CANVAS informed all students of the availability of funds and requested completion and submission of an application for funds along with receipts of expenses, if possible. The application was later eliminated due to changes in the DOE guidance. A letter of explanation and a Confirmation of Receipt and Usage of Emergency Funds form was mailed to the students along with a check. The letter requested that students cash or deposit their check within 30 days. The form requested students to promptly sign and return the Confirmation of Receipt and Usage of Emergency Funds form in an enclosed return envelope.
