Additionally, the Governor and Superintendent Hoffman today announced the extension of Arizona school closures through the end of the school year ([link removed]) . The extension follows updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and an announcement from the White House extending physical distancing guidelines until April 30, 2020.

This weekend, the Governor signed a bipartisan state budget agreement that adds $50 million for Arizona’s COVID-19 response ([link removed]) — dollars to assist Arizonans needing eviction assistance, struggling small businesses, our food banks and our homeless population.
