  • Understanding ESSER Funding: What Every Parent Needs to Know About Supporting Their Child's Education
    Oct 2 2024

    In this episode, we dive into the basics of ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funding and its impact on education in Texas. Our discussion answers critical questions such as:

    1. What ESSER funding is, and how it supports schools and students across the state?
    2. How has Texas allocated ESSER funds, and which areas of education are benefiting?
    3. The role of ESSER funding in addressing pandemic-related learning loss.
    4. Important timelines parents need to know, including deadlines for ESSER I, II, and III funds:
      • ESSER I (CARES Act): Use by September 30, 2022.
      • ESSER II (CRRSA Act): Use by September 30, 2023.
      • ESSER III (American Rescue Plan): Use by September 30, 2024.

    With no additional ESSER funding rounds planned, schools and districts are maximizing current resources before they expire. Tune in to understand how this critical funding impacts your child’s education and what parents need to be aware of moving forward.
