www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Help is on the way for low-income Georgia families whose children attend public schools that are holding classes virtually amid the pandemic, the state announced Monday.

Around $17 million from state-administered federal aid is being set aside for child-care scholarships to help eligible low-income parents either working or in school pay for child-care services during the school day.

“If families are eligible, they will receive a scholarship to help pay for on-site support and supervision of their children engaged in virtual instruction during the school day while parents work,” said Amy Jacobs, commissioner of the state Department of Early Care and Learning.
