In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act, also known as the ARP Act, was signed into law, dedicating funds for the K-12 schools through the Elementary and Secondary School Education Relief (ESSER) III funds. As a result, the Crocker R-II School District is eligible to receive one-time federal funds through the ESSER III program to be spent prior to September 30, 2023 to address expenses and learning loss associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Crocker R-II School District is seeking input from students, parents, staff, and community members regarding how to utilize ESSER III funds to best meet the needs of students, staff, and families.
