ESSER III Grant Funding

The American Rescue Plan Act provides resources to school districts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Education portion of this funding, the Elementary and  Secondary School Emergency Relief’s (ESSER III or ARP ESSER) purpose is to help schools and districts safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and must respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Districts are permitted to use ESSER III funds to address the impact COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools.  Please click here to view Old Sturbridge Academy Charter School’s ESSER III Implementation plans
