ESSER Funding and Planning Requirements for Districts

• The American Rescue Plan/ESSER III provides $122B for elementary and secondary education.
• Funds must address the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on underrepresented student groups including English learners.
• Twenty percent of these funds must be used to mitigate learning loss through evidence-based interventions that respond to students’ social, emotional, and academic needs.
• Effective district plans include data to develop plans to support English learners and to monitor their progress moving forward.
