Summary: In response to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), the U.S. Congress passed American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act, which was signed into law on March 11, 2021. This federal stimulus funding is the third act of federal relief in response to COVID-19, following the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The main funding source for local educational agencies (LEAs) in the ARP Act is the ESSER III Fund. California’s allocation of ESSER III funding is $15,079,696,097. Section 2001(c) of the ARP Act requires ED to allocate the ESSER III Fund based on the proportion that each State received under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) in the most recent fiscal year. Based on this methodology, Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD) is scheduled to receive approximately $2.79 Million. LEAs that receive ESSER III funds are required to develop a plan for how they will use ESSER III funds to, at a minimum, address students’ academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs, as well as the opportunity gaps that existed before, and were exacerbated by, the COVID-19 pandemic.
