| 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? |
*
To ensure safe operation of schools for in-person learning, the Bullock County School System plans to use funds to implement health, facility, environmental, equipment, security, and safely improvements to its schools and buildings to increase air quality, seating capacity, sanitation, cleanliness, function, and facility quality.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to employ 7 classified staff as a custodian (7.0 FTE) through a contract worker vendor (SPUR) to provide cleaning and disinfecting services to reduce the spread of COVID and other germs, bacteria, and viruses during in-person learning for schools and buildings for the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to employ 1 classified staff a maintenance worker (1.0 FTE) through a contract worker vendor to provide preventative maintenance services for HVAC units to reduce the spread of COVID and other germs, bacteria, and viruses during in-person learning for schools and buildings for the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to employ 5 paraprofessionals as a COVID screener (5.0 FTE) through a contract worker vendor (SPUR) to conduct COVID surveillance screening at each school and central office buildings for the 2021-2022 school year to prevent spread of COVID and mitigate school closure due to spread of COVID.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to employ 1 mental health services coordinator (.30 FTE) for the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 school years to assist with coordinating and providing mental health services for students within the district to continue in-person learning. (See job description in Related Document section: Mental Health Services Coordinator).
ARP ESSER Funds will be used to purchase services to keep the computer equipment in effective working condition and state of repair and purchase equipment for career technical education to increase academic and career readiness technology usage and improve student achievement during the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 school years.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to mitigate the spread of COVID and improve the air quality in the leaning spaces by replacing 100 ineffective, outdated, HVAC units at schools and buildings within the district that do not effective heat or cool learning spaces or filter COVID viruses from the air. 30 HVAC units at South Highlands Middle School, 45 HVAC units are Bullock County High School, 25 HVAC units at Union Springs Middle School. All replacements will be completed by June 2024.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to reduce crowded learning spaces by purchasing student desks for unfurnished learning spaces, classrooms, and portable classrooms added to reduce class size and student close contact to mitigate spread of COVID-19 and to minimize disruption of face-to-face learning.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to install a portable classroom building at South Highlands Middle School to reduce overcrowded classroom, increase social distance between students, and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and disruption to in-person learning because the school has large class sizes and no unused classrooms to reduce class size or add additional classes for in-person learning and to mitigate spread of COVID. All services will be completed by June 2024.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to eliminate rain water from entering learning spaces and causes excessive air moisture and effective air filtering and flow and spread of water droplets on hands and faces from student-to-student by replacing three building roofs and one awning, installing four exterior doors to improve air quality and filtering, carpet with vinyl flooring to clean and sanitize of COVID, and renovate two restrooms to improve restroom crowding and spread of COVID and the mitigate the disruption to in-person learning and support from students and instructional support staff. Replacements and renovations will be completed by September 2024.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to reduce crowded indoor learning spaces by developing outdoor learning spaces to space students out and mitigate the spread of COVID.
ARP ESSER funds will be used to purchase cleaning and sanitation supplies, materials, and equipment to reduce and mitigate the spread of COVID for in-person learning during the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.

| 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? |
*
|
Student data from the past year and a half is used to identify learning loss from benchmark assessments. The district has identified evidenced-based intervention that will address deficits in all students. We have SEL assessments protocols that are done by our mental health counselors and referrals for service from teachers, parents, and school counselors. The Mental health counselors provide support in SEL that supplements classroom instruction. Our system has a district-wide focus on equity for all populations of students. The system has two mental health counselors that spearhead the process for identifying students with SEL needs. These counselors give guidance to school and district administrators on specific student needs and training needed for all personnel to notice warning signs related to mental health. They then provide input about the types of interventions that need to be put in place to address group and individual needs. The director at the Bullock County DHR informs our system about students who are in foster care and services that are being provided and how the school can best meet specific needs that these students have. We have an EL coordinator that assesses all Multilingual Learners and inform school personnel with data from assessments on the types of interventions that will help with language acquisition and academic growth. Our homeless liaison also identifies students experiencing homelessness and our child find process along with our referral process helps us to identify students with disabilities. This process also identifies the area of disability and a team develops an Individual Education Program for these students which informs teachers on areas of need and intervention and strategies that are to be employed to promote academic growth.

| 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. |
*
|
A comprehensive needs assessments will be done to collect data from teachers, administrators, support staff, and students to determine their perceptions about the things that need addressing in their lives that will allow them to compete locally, state-wide, nationally, and internationally with their peers in education and life. The results will be use to plan for the implementation of programs, strategies, support services, education, and training that meets the needs of all beneficiaries. The progress of this program effectiveness will be monitored through a system of evaluation that will include surveys, interviews, and various forms of observation data. Our district's system of learning supports is designed to promote student equity. Students throughout the system are monitored in areas such as attendance, discipline, academics, social emotional, and other areas that might impede learning. Schools have to develop a plan to address all areas that have a potential to hinder student learning. This data is collected and reviewed on a monthly bases at a district review to monitor the strategies in place to address areas that need to be supported to promote student learning. Adjustments are made during these meetings to address areas that are not making the desired progress in limited barriers to learning.

| 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 actively monitor allocations by use of a system of checks and balances that include a designated ESSER implementation monitor who will oversee the process of all purchasing. The CSFO will lead the charge in conducting internal interim audits to ensure appropriate application of funds. The ESSER manager will also be responsible for data collection and review. The district will employ a community engagement representative that will be responsible for all media and other forms of communication to the community at large. Interim audits include the review of all purchase orders submitted and processed with ESSER funds. All purchases with ESSER funds have to be signed by the school or district person responsible for the PO. The PO is then reviewed by the Executive Director of Teaching and Learning and he has to initial beside the person responsible for the order. The PO is then sent to the superintendent to review, approve and sign. Once signed by the superintendent, the CSFO has to make sure that it is an appropriate application of funds.
