ESSER2 Spending Guidance

Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act

The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA), was signed into law on December 27, 2020, and provides additional funding for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER II Fund).

While districts have broad flexibility in the use of these funds in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the MDE has created a list of recommendations for expenditures.

Please see the attached document for reference as your district plans for the use of these and other funds.
