ESSER III Spending Plans

The federal government has passed three major relief packages in response to COVID-19.  The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is administering multiple grant opportunities from the relief packages, including three rounds of formula-based Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER).

The Tale of the Buckets is a working document used by the District to track the various federal dollars that became available to the District during the Pandemic to offset the additional expenses as a result of the Pandemic.  This document outlines the funds and how the funds have been used and the plans for how the new funds will be used over the next two years.
