WHAT ARE
THE ESSER GRANTS?                                

The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund is a federal formula grant managed by the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE). Non-recurring, emergency aid subgrants are being allocated by the AOE to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) by formula based on Title I, Part A allocations - Addison Northwest School District is one of those LEAs. Funds are broken down into three parts: ESSER I, ESSER II, and ESSER III. These grants are considered one-time funds.
WHAT IS TITLE I,
PART A?


Title I, Part A is a Consolidated Federal Program with the purpose of providing all children a significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps. ANWSD receives Title I funding each year.

ESSER FEEDBACK FORM

Required

The public approval process for ESSER spending is a critical step in ensuring transparency, accountability, and community involvement in how federal funds are used to support our schools. By actively engaging stakeholders and seeking their input, schools can make informed decisions that address the unique needs of their students and foster trust within their communities. As we continue to navigate the challenges of education during the pandemic, the public approval process remains an essential tool in ensuring the equitable and responsible allocation of ESSER funds.
