Required Narratives 
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 III funds will be used to implement prevention and mitigation strategies to safely operate schools for in-person learning.  We will use funds to purchase touch free water refill stations so students can safely refill water bottles.  Touch free restroom cleaning systems, masks, cleaning solutions for our sprayers, hand sanitizer, antibacterial soap, and other cleaning supplies as needed to keep students and employees safe will be provided to 11 school buildings with these funds..
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?
*

ARP ESSER III funds will be used to ensure that interventions that respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students.  Data will be reviewed each week and data meetings will be held each month to discuss classroom data.  RTI meetings will also be held each month to discuss individual student data and needs.  We will continue to use Renaissance Learning for  assessment and individual learning plans with Freckle, a component of the program.  STAR will be used for initial and formative assessment throughout the year.  The STAR assessment gives each student an individualized remediation or acceleration program through Freckle.  This helps students who have deficiencies in reading and math.  

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.
*
Marion County Schools does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, national origin, disability or age as evidenced by the students that participate in our programs.  We serve all students equitably.  To ensure that all students are protected from COVID 19, the following mitigation measures will be followed:  Information will be posted on our website and put on through social media that masks are recommended but not mandated.  Cleaning supplies, masks, sanitizing wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues, and liquid hand soap will be provided to each school in the district.
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?
*
Expenditure reports from the CFO are collected monthly.  As Superintendent, I sign all POs issued by our system.  All of our financial statements are posted on our website, www.mcbe.net. 
How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds?
*
We use Title I funds to employ a Parent/Community Liaison.  She works with families through parent involvement and with all of our students who qualify as being Homeless.  Our P/T Liaison pushes information out to  parents through our website, social media, and monthly newsletters.
