6.A. The American Rescue Plan (ARP) has allocated $11.2 billion  to the State of Texas for public education, available through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) Fund. Funds are being provided, supplemental to all other funding sources to school systems, and will not be supplanted at the state level (like ESSER I). Schools should use theses new funds to respond to the pandemic and to address student learning loss as a result of COVID-19. These funds are one-time federal funds that will expire 9/1/23, with an automatic one-year extension. The state does not intend to replace funds for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund) in future years.  ESSER III funds must be spent by September 2024.
