Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund II (ESSER II) Update
- Category: Co-op Purchasing, COVID-19
In the Spring of 2020, the U.S. Department of Education (USED) awarded more than $13 billion in assistance to elementary and secondary schools through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
The USED recently announced an additional $1,991,251,095 in ESSER II funds to Ohio.
This new funding is intended to help states and school districts safely reopen schools, measure and effectively address significant learning loss, and take other actions to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the students and families who depend on our K-12 schools.
