Elementary and Secondary School Relief Fund (ESSER) Survey

In response to COVID-19 and its potential impact on student learning, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) was signed into law by the federal government on March 11, 2021 and provided approximately $122 billion for the Elementary and Secondary School Relief Fund (ESSER).

The Sevier County School System is applying to receive approximately 27.2 million dollars of ESSER 3.0 funds to address student's unfinished learning and COVID-19 recovery. Federal guidance states that all funds must be spent in the prevention, preparation, and response to COVID-19. These funds are designated for one-time or short term expenditures to address the ongoing impact of the pandemic. There is a federal requirement that at least 20% of these funds ($5.5 million) must target learning loss due to extended school closures and interruptions.

Please take a few minutes to share your feedback regarding how you feel the pandemic has impacted you (if you are a student), your student (if you are a parent/guardian), or as a community member as it is related to the school system (academic, emotional, physical) and how the district should best use the resources to address students' instructional needs and ongoing COVID-19 recovery. Your input on this survey will be used to plan for the spending of the ESSER federal stimulus grant. Please respond by June 21st.

The Sevier County School System is interested in your thoughts and insights into how our schools may best provide support for student success. We appreciate and value your feedback.
