    Reading Time:about 23 minutes

    The Department of Education announced an opportunity for public agencies and private non-profits to apply for grants to operate Equity Assistance Centers. These centers will provide technical help to schools on developing desegregation plans, ensuring all students have a safe and equitable learning environment, and addressing issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The department plans to fund four centers, one in each geographic region outlined, and encourages applications from entities that have not received similar grants recently. Applying organizations must follow specific guidelines and should aim to improve knowledge, change policies, and enhance the capacity to support equal educational opportunities.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Education is asking groups to apply for money to help schools make sure everyone gets a fair and safe education. They want people who haven’t gotten this help before to apply, but the rules and words they use might be hard for some to understand.

    The Department of Defense (DoD), through its Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) seeking approval to gather information under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This information collection is related to the Nuclear Test Personnel Review Forms and involves 278 respondents, mainly veterans and civilians who participated in nuclear tests. The collected data will help recognize military service, verify participation, and assess radiation exposure, ultimately supporting the award of the Atomic Veterans Service Certificate (AVSC) and processing compensation claims. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until February 12, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Defense wants to ask people, who were at nuclear tests long ago, some questions to see if they should get a special award or help. People have until February 12, 2021, to say what they think about these questions.
