USD 456 is making plans to use the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III funds provided under the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The purpose of ESSER III is to address the impact of the pandemic on students by mitigating learning losses, supporting social-emotional needs, and ensuring safe in-person learning for students.
We will submit an application for ESSER III funds to the Kansas Department of Education which must include input from a variety of stakeholders on how best to use these funds. Your input will impact how ESSER III funds are spent across the school district.
Please take a few minutes to provide your feedback here: https://forms.gle/k8s1bU5Fwy513HCfA
