ResourcesBetween March of 2020 and 2021, Congress passed three stimulus bills - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER I, II, and III) to local educational agencies (LEAs). These funds provide emergency financial assistance to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools. Prior to Act 10, ET was taking steps to reduce expenses. Act 10 provided additional tools the district has used to continue the savings.
