ESSER III funds are being used to pay for salary and benefits of highly qualified teachers for FY22 who are charged with raising the educational level of all our students who have been impacted by lost instruction time. Funds are also requested to pay a .25FTE school counselor in FY23 and for two passenger vans that allows students to participate in after school enrichment activities. The vast majority of our students (93%) are from low-income families, so transportation is a barrier.
