summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive after
school programs, or extended school year;

(3) How the LEA will spend its remaining ARP ESSER funds consistent with
section 2001(e)(2) of the ARP Act; and

(4) How the LEA will ensure that the interventions it implements, including but
not limited to the interventions implemented under section 2001(e)(1) of the
ARP Act to address the academic impact of lost instructional time, will respond
to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students,
