CSD ESSER III Stakeholders Survey
Feedback Opportunity for ESSER III Fund
American Rescue Plan (ARP): ESSER III
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) was signed into law. ARP dedicated $122 billion to the Elementary and Secondary School Education Relief (ESSER) Fund. This grant is known as ESSER III. The intent and purpose of ESSER III are to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus on students.
CSD’s ESSER III allocation is $649,694. These one-time or short-term funds are supplemental to CSD's budget and will be used to address the impact COVID-19 has had and continues to have, on schools. CSD’s plan for ESSER III funds may include allocations to support families who are in need of an independent study virtual program option, interventions, SEL support, technology, parent engagement, COVID-19 related safety measures, and professional development.
CSD will utilize ESSER III funds to address issues that have arisen due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CSD is required by statute to set aside 20 percent of its total ESSER III allocation ($129,939) to address learning recovery. ESSER III funds can be used to cover expenses incurred from March 13, 2020, through September 30, 2024.
