Take advantage of this opportunity to boost instruction with TCEA
Earlier this year, the State of Texas released $11.2 billion of federal funding for schools. The funds were appropriated for Texas schools as part of the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER or ESSER III) Fund. This federal funding was passed in March 2021 under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021. Funds are designed to be used by K–12 public and charter schools for resources purchased between March 13, 2020 and September 20, 2023. The estimated allotment is a district’s ESSER I entitlement multiplied by 10 (subject to change depending on final allotments).
Looking to put this opportunity to good use to improve outcomes for students, recover from a challenging year, or build the resilience your school needs? Explore how TCEA can help with powerful professional learning opportunities.
