K12 Education

In March, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education announced nearly 122 billion dollars in ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding for all states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. ARP ESSER funding will support the safe reopening of K12 schools and efforts to address the wide-ranging impacts of COVID-19 on learning and student wellbeing. The resources on this landing page support K12 decision makers with key considerations for COVID-19 recovery, with an emphasis on maximizing equity in education during this crucial transition.
