Background: Between March of 2020 and 2021, Congress passed three stimulus bills related to the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund). These funds provide emergency financial assistance to address the impact that COVID–19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools.

ESSER I funding focused on purchasing technology for virtual learning, personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies to safely reopen schools. The District focused on three key priority areas namely accelerating learning, health and wellness and facilities when allocating ESSER II funds. Two additional priority areas, technology and extracurricular engagement, were added during the ESSER III budget planning process.
The attached ESSER report provides an overview of ESSER II and ESSER III spending as of June 30, 2023.
Fiscal Impact Statement: This item does not authorize expenditures.
Implementation and Assessment Plan Funds for ESSER I were expended or obligated by September 30, 2022, for ESSER II by September 30, 2023. ESSER III will be expended or obligated by September 30, 2024.
