How does the LEA plan to use funds to implement prevention and mitigation strategies in order to continuously and safely operate schools for in-person learning?
*

ARP ESSER funds will be used to implement prevention and mitigation strategies that are, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with the most recent CDC guidance on reopening schools, in order to continuously and safely open and operate schools for in-person learning. ARP ESSER funds will be used to address (1) school facility repairs and improvements to enable operation of schools to reduce risk of virus transmission and exposure to environmental health hazards and support student health needs; for (2) personnel to address academic impact of lost instructional time, and personnel to address the ongoing health and social-emotional concerns of our students; and for 3) evidence-based programs and strategies to address the impacts of COVID-19 on all stakeholders. Specifically, ARP ESSER funds will be used as follows:

1.       Review and remedy HVAC concerns for identified buildings; 

2.       Repair and replace doors and windows to ensure proper ventilation; 

3.       Provide for physical distancing to the best possible extent; 

4.       Replace carpet with new flooring to increase air quality and reduce health hazards associated with old carpet; 

5.       Provide safe entrances to school buildings by creating interior walls and additional counter spaces; 

6.       Increase access to electrical outlets in classrooms to support digital learning; 

7.       Purchase software to manage digital devices to keep students safe during online learning; 

8.       Establish outdoor eating areas to increase opportunities for social distancing; 

9.       Install touchless water filling stations; 

10.   Hire personnel to support efforts to maximize in-person instruction time and continuously and safely open and operate schools for in person learning;

11.   Purchase educational technology;

12.   Support early childhood education through Pre-K programs;

13.   Implement evidence-based programs and strategies to address the specific needs of students;

14.   Offer evidence-based summer, after-school and other extended learning and enrichment programs;

15.   Purchase personal protective equipment, such as masks, hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes and cleaning supplies and equipment for buildings to adequately mitigate COVID-19; and

16.   Provide training and support for parents to build educational partnerships between school and family.  

 

How will the LEA ensure that the evidence-based interventions will address the academic impact of lost instructional time and ensure that those interventions respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students including underrepresented student subgroups (each major racial and ethnic group, children from low-income families, children with disabilities, English Learners, gender, migrant students, students experiencing homelessness, and children and youth in foster care) and those who are particularly impacted disproportionately by the COVID-19 pandemic?
*
Autauga County Schools will routinely monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our educational programs. The evaluation will include identifying barriers to successful learning with particular attention given to students and/or parents students including underrepresented student subgroups (each major racial and ethnic group, children from low-income families, children with disabilities, English Learners, gender, migrant students, students experiencing homelessness, and children and youth in foster care) and those who are particularly impacted disproportionately by COVID-19. The evaluation will include surveys, data analysis, focus groups and opportunity for input at local Board meetings. Staff development will be provided to target awareness of such barriers and to provide guidelines and strategies in addressing the various needs of our students and their families.
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.
*
Autauga County Schools will ensure that no student, teacher or other program beneficiary will be denied participation based on gender, race, national origin, color, disability or age. Through purposeful planning and routine monitoring and evaluations, we will ensure ongoing compliance with section 427 of GEPA. A large percentage of students in the school district are from low socioeconomic families, with over 45% qualifying for free/reduced lunch. All students in the district will have equal access to these resources. Through coordination of funds, we will provide training to assist staff in understanding poverty and in how to adapt teaching strategies so that students in poverty and their parents are more engaged in their learning. Special education students and English Learner students will receive additional support to ensure they have access to technology and have the necessary skills to utilize this access. Funds will be used for salaries for additional teachers and other staff to provide support for all students, families and staff. Because we know that STEM-related classes tend to disproportionately attract boys, we will implement outreach strategies to encourage more girls to participate in our STEM initiative. Staff will participate in trainings to improve K-3 Early Literacy and ensure students are reading at grade level by the end of third grade. Staff will use techniques to ensure all students no matter gender, race, national origin, disability or age receive help to ensure proper grade level reading. Staff will also be trained on evidence-based strategies to improve behavior without punitive disciplinary actions. Funds will be used to increase safety and to enhance the social emotional well-being of our students. Our district will focus on non-discrimination awareness programs for all sub-groups including gender, race, ethnicity, gender orientation and socio-economic status, through outreach to families and community members. Funds will support guidance counselors, social workers and mental health counselors to support low-income families, students with special learning and social needs, and ESL population. Time will be allocated to work with these families to ensure ongoing communication between home and school via home visits, school meetings, phone calls, emails etc. We will ensure that no student or teacher will be denied participation based on gender, race, national origin, disability or age.
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 Director of Federal Programs will actively monitor the ARP ESSER grant allocation and prepare program budgets, schedules, and budget amendments to ensure compliance with statutory requirements. Additionally, the Director of Federal Programs will collect and manage all required data elements by developing systems of collaboration with relevant program directors and supervisors in the collection of required data elements. Required reporting elements will be posted on the ACBOE website for public comment. The Director of Federal Programs will audit all purchases prior to the obligation of funds to ensure funds are expended as approved in the ARP ESSER grant application. The Chief School Finance Officer will audit expenditures prior to requesting grant reimbursements and maintain documentation necessary for year-end audit reporting. Additional responsibilities include developing systems for assuring compliance with program requirements, monitoring program activities for progress and compliance, and evaluating program results against stated objectives. The Director of Federal Programs will also develop program goals in collaboration with district and school leaders, teachers, and other stakeholders. The Director of Federal Programs is paid from Title I federal funds and local funds and Autauga County Schools has elected to not use ESSER funding for the administration of ESSER grants. Upon clarification of required monitoring, auditing, and reporting elements at the state and federal levels, Autauga County Schools will update the procedures for ensuring compliance if necessary.
How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds?
*
ACS will maintain the ESSER page of the district site to keep all stakeholders informed of the progress of ESSER funding plans and programs. The site information includes phone and contact information for stakeholders to address comments related to ESSER funding, programs, and reporting. Stakeholders will also be notified of any public meetings that address the use of ESSER funds.
