1. 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.

A portion of the funds will be used to build additional classrooms for students to help maintain or lower-class sizes, give more open-air options, and offer more social distancing. The space will include additional instructional support rooms, band/music room, an additional gym/cafeteria for elementary students that will have an option to have a wall open for fresh air, additional classrooms, and a library/technology room.

2. 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.

Funds will be used to continue summer school programming during summer 2023 which is a continuation of summer school offerings summer of 2022. Funds will also be used for a reading recovering program (classes, training and materials, for 2 staff members and salary for one staff member).

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

Funds will be used for a summer school program during the summer of 2023.

4. 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.

In the building addition, there will be an additional space for instructional support. Funds will also be used for summer school and reading recovery which works with students who are struggling the most. Because of our demographics, most of the students receiving instruction are low income, students of color, and ELL students.

5. Briefly describe how the LEA determined its most important educational needs as a result of COVID-19.

We are reviewing common assessments, normative data (NWEA MAP), and state testing data to identify the areas of greatest needs. This data will be compared to historical data of our students to identify standards and strands most prevalent within our student population.
