Montgomery Public Schools plans to utilize ARP ESSER III funds to Prepare, Prevent, and/ or Respond to the Covid 19 impact on our district. We plan to utilize funds in the following ways to address learning loss:
1. The purchase of PowerSchool Hoonuit and Performance Matters along with other scientific researched based programs to track progress on the learning gaps in ELA (English, reading, and writing) and math. This will allow us to pinpoint which ELA and math skills were most affected by the lost time.
2. Through additional funds we have trained the staff on the use of View-boards to enhance our approach to these identified areas
3. Implement and support a summer learning academy K-12 to allow for extra time to make up for time missed due to COVID 19 which negatively impacted students.
4. Add additional counseling services to help with student emotional trauma that has taken place during this time which has a direct impact on the learning of all students.
5. Engage in a SEL curriculum that will be implemented in various ways to meet the needs of the students.

| How will the LEA comply with the requirements of section 427 of GEPA (20 U.S.C. 1228a)? The description must include information on the steps the LEA proposes to take to permit students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries to overcome barriers (including barriers based on gender, race, color, national origin, disability, and age) that impede equal access to, or participation in, the ESSER III program. |

Montgomery Public Schools plans to utilize ARP ESSER III funds to Prepare, Prevent, and/ or Respond to the Covid 19 impact on our district. We plan to utilize funds to address learning loss in student subgroups: Additional counseling services as well as rich and diverse curriculum to help identify and address the needs of each specific subgroup. The counseling services will be able to individually and in a group setting address specific needs that pertain to students who are facing unique circumstances because of the diversity of students. IEP, EL, Low SES, and others will all have unique circumstances that will need to be addressed. The curriculum can be modified to allow for unique backgrounds that will be more suited to students of subgroups.

|
|
|
| How will the LEA actively monitor their allocations, conduct interim audits to ensure an appropriate application of funds, collect and manage data elements required to be reported, and report this information to the community? |
*
|
The LEA will provide monthly budgets by category to MPS management team and related stakeholders. MPS will also conduct periodic audits and work with management team to ensure funds are appropriated as outlined in the plan. Furthermore, MPS will post plan on district wide for community awareness and input.

| How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds? |
*
|
Montgomery Public Schools will purchase high quality instructional and intervention materials in the areas of English Language Arts curriculum (K-12) and Math curriculum (K-12). The district will purchase materials to support the Social and Emotional Learning curriculum. All of the curriculums that the district plans to purchase will be used to address any forms of learning loss or the aftereffects of it. ARP ESSER III funds will be used to close the digital divide by purchasing new chrome books/iPads to sustain the district one-to-one initiative for all students in PK-12. This is being done to ensure that if a COVID-19 outbreak were to occur in 4 our district that we would have the ability to switch to a remote learning environment using the new chrome books/iPads. Chrome books purchases from ESSER II and II will provide a necessary tool for both students and staff. Schoology will drive instruction decisions and monitor progress. Software licences and programming will be purchased to engage students in the learning of the Alabama Course of Study standards through both personalized and hybrid, when necessary, learning opportunities.

Requested amount: Total Budget: $750,000 |2190 – (399) Explanation: With nearly 27,000 students and the necessary need to update several communication resources, MPS is requesting a total amount of $750, 000 to be used to used promote attendance awareness, parental involvement opportunities, and distance learning and conferencing and community outreach. In addition to these efforts, the district has a desperate need to update its digital streaming capabilities to be used for community outreach and strengthening parent and family engagement. As Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) continues to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to use technology to communicate with our students, parents, employees, and community stakeholders is important. Our goal is to provide our students with digital streamed video tutorials and recorded standard-based lessons to support the unfinished learning gaps our students have experienced during the pandemic. In addition, we've planned to create supportive digital videos to help parents successfully navigate through virtual learning. In addition to our digital communication needs, MPS is working to create healthy communication pathways to strengthen our parent engagement programs at our schools and at the district level.
Overview: Improve digital streaming capabilities to improve/close unfinished learning gaps for students, provide MPS staff clear and concise district directives and strengthen parental engagement to support student achievement
Provide digital content that supports standard-based concepts
Inform parents and community stakeholders of student achievement programs using digital capabilities
Examples:
High-resolution videos
Clear high resolution live video streams
