What is the purpose of the ARP ESSER III funds?
The purpose of ESSER in general is to award subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) such as Celeste ISD to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools.
How will LEAs know their grant amounts?
Grant allocations will be posted on the Grants Administration Entitlements web page at https://tea.texas.gov/finance-and-grants/grants/grantsadministration/applying-for-a-grant/entitlements.
What is the funding period for ARP ESSER III grants?
Funds may be used for allowable activities from March 13, 2020 (with approved pre-award) through Sept. 30, 2023.
What are the federal requirements around the LEA ESSER III Use of Funds Plan?
The LEA must engage in meaningful consultation with stakeholders and give the public an opportunity to provide input in the development of its plan for the uses of ARP ESSER III funds.
Are there recommended uses of ESSER III funds that will assist LEAs in addressing the impact of the COVID pandemic and disruptions leading to learning loss?
While keeping in mind the purpose and requirements under ESSER III related to accelerating student learning, TEA strongly encourages school systems to plan for how to use these one-time federal funds expeditiously over the entire covered period to facilitate a more comprehensive long-term approach to learning acceleration.
Will the state provide replacement funds for ESSER after 2023?
Since the large influx of ESSER funding into LEAs can result in funding deficits when it ends, the LEA must plan for how to effectively and efficiently use the ESSER funds. It is recommended to use the ESSER grant funds for one-time or short-term expenditures to address the identified needs caused by the pandemic.
