Plan for Use Of Funds

The extent to which and how the funds will be used to implement prevention and mitigation strategies that are, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with the most recent CDC guidance on reopening schools, in order to continuously and safely open and operate schools for in-person learning?

The funds will be used to replenish technology and to make-up for loss of learning.

How the LEA will use the funds it reserves under section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act to address the academic impact of lost instructional time through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school year?

The LEA will be creating both a beyond the school day program and a summer program.

How the LEA will spend its remaining ARP ESSER funds consistent with section 2001(e)(2) of the ARP Act?

The funds will be used to replenish technology and to make-up for loss of learning.

How the LEA will ensure that the interventions it implements, including but not limited to the interventions implemented under section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act to address the academic impact of lost instructional time, will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID–19 pandemic, including students from low-income families, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students. Under this requirement, an LEA must engage in meaningful consultation with stakeholders and give the public an opportunity to provide input in the development of its plan. Specifically, an LEA must engage in meaningful consultation with students; families; school and district administrators (including special education administrators); and teachers, principals, school leaders, other educators, school staff, and their unions.

All data procured from the intervention implementation will be house in our LinkIt data warehousing program. This will allow the LEA and stakeholders to see how students progressed and the effectiveness of the program.

Additionally, an LEA must engage in meaningful consultation with each of the following, to the extent present in or served by the LEA: Tribes; civil rights organizations (including disability rights organizations); and stakeholders representing the interests of children with disabilities, English learners, children experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, migratory students, children who are incarcerated, and other underserved students.

The LEA will engage in meaningful consultation will all stakeholders to the greatest extent possible. This includes but is not limited to the Child Study Team and providers obtained by the Shrewsbury Borough Alliance.
