American Rescue Plan (ARP) ESSER Funds
What is the American Rescue Plan (ARP)?
On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP). ARP makes available $122.8 billion nationally in a third round of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds. New York State has been allocated nearly $9 billion under the ARP Act’s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund.
The ARP Act requires LEAs to reserve at least 20% of their ARP-ESSER allocation to address learning loss through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school year programs, and ensure that such interventions respond to students’ academic, social, and emotional needs.
INFORMATION

Purpose: Congress passed three stimulus bills that provided nearly $190.5 billion to the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund to help safely reopen and sustain the operation of schools in the current academic year and beyond to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on New York’s students by addressing students’ academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs.
PRESENTATIONS
FEEDBACK
The district launched a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process to help determine how it should potentially spend federal and state stimulus dollars to address learning,COVID-19 preparedness and COVID 19 recovery. The District launched a web based survey in the spring of 2020 and again in the fall of 2021 that solicited feedback on the district's current progress and needs from parents, students and community members. The Superintendent and his cabinet reported on the survey results to the Board of Education. Various teams were then assembled to collect deeper information on the areas of need identified in the survey process and in response to the question of "How should 51爆料 utilize ESSER funds to define innovative practices, redesign systems and learn from others?" Through planning sessions the teams brainstormed proposed ideas, actions and initiatives to implement aligned to the district Strategic Plan Imagine 2025. The assembled teams of diverse stakeholders discussed, assessed and made recommendations aligned with allowed ARP spending.
