On Thursday, March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was signed into law. It is an unprecedented $1.9 trillion package of assistance measures, including $122 billion for the ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Fund. Funds are provided to State educational agencies and school districts to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the Nation’s students.
Now is the time for school districts to leverage these available funds and invest in a common security platform for your voice, video and data needs.
The American Rescue Plan provides another $122 billion to the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER III) created under the CARES Act as part of the Education Stabilization Fund. This program is administered through the U.S. Department of Education and is intended to support efforts by states and school districts to safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools as well as address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the nation’s students.
