ESSER

Bay City ISD applied for and was awarded the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER III) grant in August of 2021. The ARP ESSER III grant program is authorized in the ARP signed into law in March 2021.

The grant will spread over a 3-year period and can be adjusted over time. The purpose of the grant is to address COVID-19 related issues such as mitigation, cleaning, and the social and emotional health of the students and staff and fund ways to address the lasting effects of learning loss due to the closure of schools in the spring of 2020.  

To meet the grant's requirements, BCISD must post its ESSER use of funds plan (below).
