Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA)

Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund (ESSER II)

The State of Alaska received $159,719,422 of ESSER II funds, of that share $142,747,480 DEED must distribute to schools.

KPBSD will receive $9,088,405 in ESSER II funds for a two-year period that will include FY22 and FY23.

District Use of Funds: In addition to the uses allowable under the ESSER fund (CARES Act grant), districts may use the funds to address learning loss among students, preparing schools for reopening, and testing, repairing, and upgrading projects to improve air quality in school buildings.

COVID-19 has caused extended absences from the classroom and resulted in a challenging year for our students/parents and staff. A two-year plan to assist in the enhancement of education for all students will allow us to ensure that our students have recovered from any COVID-19 related educational deficiencies.

Ideas that have come from the leadership team and the district instructional team are below:

  1. Additional Interventionists in schools.

  2. After-School Programs (with Transportation)

  3. Summer School Programs (with Transportation)

  4. Elementary School Counselors

  5. Additional Middle School and High School counselors.

  6. CTE Academies

  7. Title 9/Compliance/Small schools coordinator

  8. K-12 Remote – maintain the online option for families

  9. Increase Distance Education offerings

  10. Additional devices.

  11. Credit recovery

  12. Middle College expansion

  13. Teacher FLIGHT Prep

  14. CPR/Lifeguard/referee/Ag/CNA pre-cursor training

  15. Family engagement models

  16. Connections family liaison

  17. Transition camps for Special education, 8th grade 5/6th grade and 3rd grade.

Development and delivery of the above educational opportunities will use all available funds.
