The U.S. Department of
Education announced they had released guidelines for the distribution of the
funds allotted to the Education Stabilization Fund through the CARES Act for
the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund). The
funds will total $13.2 B of the funds authorized under the legislation. State
educational agencies (SEAs) will be awarded the funds for distribution to local
educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that are LEAs. Below are
key links to the information including the press release, the ESSER main page,
sample cover letter to state education chiefs, the fund notice, state
allocations table, and the certification and agreement. You can also find the
last four links on the ESSER main page. As we learn more information, we will
make it available.
