Since March 2020, Congress has passed three stimulus packages (CARES, CRSSA, and ARP) to help school districts respond to the pandemic. Through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, an unprecedented amount of aid is available to support K-12 education.
How can I use ESSER Funding?
Under the American Rescue Plan Act, ESSER III, school districts are required to spend at least 20% of their allocation to “address learning loss through the implementation of evidence-based interventions...[that] respond to students’ social, emotional, and academic needs.”
How can I learn more about ESSER Funding?
Read the Department of Education’s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Programs FAQ for more details on using ESSER Funding to help respond to the pandemic and transition back to in-person learning.
