| Background Information |
On June 1, 2021, the Gila County Board of Supervisors authorized the newspaper advertisement of Request for Proposals No. 052421-Sub-Grantee for COVID-19 School Wraparound Support Services.
Request for Proposals No. 052421 was advertised in the Payson Roundup on June 8, 2021, and June 15, 2021.
The Gila County Health and Emergency Management Department will utilize the proposed funds to complement, not duplicate, existing funding previously provided, including the ELC community-based Surveillance, ELC Enhanced Plus, and ELC Cares Act supplements. The project aims for Gila County Public Health is to leverage, and build upon, our existing public health infrastructure that emphasizes the coordination and critical integration of disease investigation, epidemiology, contact tracing, and electronic health information systems in order to maximize the public health impact of available resources. The primary goals will be: 1) to use our close relationship with Gila County schools to encourage participation in the Pooled Testing program offered by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) in collaboration with Ginkgo Bioworks: 20 to enhance our disease investigation procedures by referring positive school cases to our wraparound services to support their abilities to successfully quarantine/isolate during their COVIS-19 experience. Ongoing monitoring of milestones and performance measures will be utilized to gauge progress toward the successful completion of priority activities supported with these funds.
This funding notification was received from ADHS on May 12, 2021, with a project start date and end date of August 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022, in order to align with the typical school year. This is a one-year award in the amount of $828,927. |
