ARP ESSER III Information and Survey
The American Rescue Plan signed into law in March by President Joe Biden included $122 billion in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds for school districts across the country, which is the single largest investment in federal elementary and secondary education in the nation’s history. 

Texas is eligible for over $12.4 billion. Funds will be distributed to states based on the share of funding they receive under Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which is used to allocate federal education funding to students from low-income backgrounds. Once states receive the money, they must distribute at least 90% of funds to districts based on how much the district receives from Title I. 

Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions on the ESSER III funds:
  • The purpose of ESSER in general is to award subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) such as Mabank ISD to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools.
  • Grant allocations will be posted on the Grants Administration Entitlements web page at this link.
  • Funds may be used for allowable activities from March 13, 2020 (with approved pre-award) through Sept. 30, 2023.
  • 1.  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.

    2.  The LEA must provide its plan for the uses of ARP ESSER III funds in an understandable and uniform format.

    3.  The LEA’s plan for the uses of ARP ESSER III funds will be posted to the LEA’s website within 30 days of receiving its ESSER III Notice of Grant Award.
  • Yes, LEAs must expend a minimum of 20 percent of their grant funds on:

    1,  Evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning, extended day comprehensive after school programs, or extended school year programs; and

    2.  Ensure interventions respond to students’ academic, social, and emotional needs and address the disproportionate impact of coronavirus on student populations as defined in ESEA, Title I, Part A, students experiencing homelessness, and youth in foster care.
