The task force conducted needs assessments to determine the areas impacted by COVID-19. The needs assessment was inclusive on all sub-groups of learners as well as parent and community engagement. An evaluation of the results determined a great need of support in the areas of academics, social emotional learning, mental health, staff training, and facility improvement. Members of the task force were were divided into committees to research evidence based programs and strategies that would address each need. ARP ESSER funds are being utilized to implement and sustain supports for the identified areas of need.
