ESSER III Use of Funds
As part of its commitment to stakeholder engagement, DCPS is seeking input on the use of the ESSER III American Rescue Plan (ARP) Grant Funds. Signed into law by President Biden in March of 2021, the ARP provides money to K-12 education. To ensure focused and intentional planning, the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) developed the Framework for School Renewal and Acceleration. A list of allowable uses has also been created. Both documents are attached. DCPS has identified some priorities and needs for the use of the grant funds, however, the school district is wanting your input. If you have suggestions once you read both documents, please mail them to Dr. Chad Denker, Supt, at denker@dcscouts.org prior to June 25, 2021.
