Investment of ESSER III Funds in the Clark County School District

CCSD received over $777 million in recovery funding through the The American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Act (ARP ESSER III). With this funding, CCSD invested in its students, teachers, and schools, enabling implementation of long-needed infrastructure, student supports, and teacher resources that are supporting pandemic recovery and investing in the future of the District.

 

CCSD successfully implemented recovery and relief funds. The District regularly monitored spending, implementation, and interim progress measures to ensure all projects stayed on track and goals were met.

 

In addition, the District committed to maintaining transparency and accountability by regularly sharing updates on the usage of these funds with our community. CCSD released the following Use of Funds reports, including a final report that details each project funded by ARP ESSER III and the subsequent progress made toward recovery:

ESSER III Updates

May 5
Summer-Fall 2021

In summer 2021, CCSD launched Phase 1 of this work to partner with the community on a plan for pandemic recovery.

 

Partner organizations from across the community collected input from their members and the people they serve in a series of community input conversations. We are grateful to the 80+ community organizations, and approximately 13,000 individual stakeholders, who rallied together to reimagine school for our children.

 

With a goal of convening a representative cross-section of our diverse community, three community members from each CCSD Region were selected to serve on a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to help synthesize the input received. The CAC met to review the community input and developed a synthesis report that captures the topics and themes they observed.

 

Read the CAC’s final report in English (PDF) and Spanish (PDF). Meet the members of the CAC here.

 

We are pleased to share the results of this process in CCSD’s Use of Funds Plan.
