Background:
In response to COVID-19, the U.S. Congress passed American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act, which was signed into law on March 11, 2021.
This federal stimulus funding was the third act of federal relief in response to COVID-19. The ESSER III funding provided LEAs with emergency relief funds to address the impact of COVID-19 on elementary and secondary schools across the nation.
The ARP Act required LEAs that received ESSER III funds to complete a Safe Return to In-person Instruction and Continuity of Services plan. ED issued requirements for this plan that included revisions to the plan to be brought forth during the school year.
The attached plan is an updated, revised safety plan that includes changes to District protocol and COVID response in alignment with public health guidance.
Fiscal Implication:
None
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the updated Safe Return to In-Person Instruction ( Safety) Plan.
