ESSER III Funding
On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was signed into law. In it, the U.S. Department of Education is providing an additional $121.9 billion for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ARP ESSER Fund). This legislation awards grants to state educational agencies (SEAs) for providing local educational agencies (LEAs, i.e., school districts) with emergency relief funds to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools across the nation.
ARP ESSER III Spending Plan
Each school district that receives ARP ESSER Funds must develop a plan for the use of the funds and provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments.
Below is a summary of the plan for Plainfield CCSD #202. Use the form linked here to provide public comment.
