In preparation for the submission of our Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) Fund grant application, MERSD is seeking community input on how to prioritize available resources. Please take a moment to share your perspective on our high-priority needs for the 2021-2022 school year as they relate to the impact of the COVID-19 on the delivery of educational services.
Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) Fund
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021, Public Law 117-2, was enacted on March 11, 2021. The ARP Act provides additional funding for school districts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Education portion of ARP is known as the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III or ARP ESSER) Fund. The purpose of the ESSER III fund is to support the safe reopening and sustaining safe operations of schools while meeting students' academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
