| 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 upgrade and replace HVAC units with new ION filtration, renovate restrooms, add new bottle filling stations to existing water fountains, replace carpet, and replace windows. New textbooks will be ordered for students in grades K-12 in the areas of History and Science. Funding will be used to purchase new digital and print textbooks for students and correlating resources for the classroom teachers. These resources will give students and teachers direct access to the most up-to-date curriculum available in print and digital formats. The resources will allow students digital access in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in a remote and/or blended environment. The resources will also provide students with on-going opportunities to engage in fiction and non-fiction text which will address literacy skills regardless of the content area. Professional development will be provided for the teachers to equip them to use these resources using sound instructional practices.

| 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? |
*
|
Through improvements to school buildings, our students will be provided an environment that is conducive to learning. Our HVAC units, restrooms, and water fountains currently do not mitigate the spread of viruses.
|
|
|
|
| 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. |
*
|
All students, teachers, and beneficiaries will be provided equal access to the ESSER III program. The Fayette County Board of Education does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups.
|
|
|
|
| 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 ARP ESSER funds will be monitored through the finance department. Interim audits will be conducted through the finance department. The board of education will approve project bids and purchase orders for projects. The local newspaper will provide board meeting information and the expense report will be posted on the district website.
|
|
|
|
| How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds? |
*
