| 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? |
*
The St. Clair County School system plans to use ARP ESSER funds to both prevent further Covid-19 virus impact on the system, and to provide instructional strategies to lessen the impact of the Covid-19 virus in the previous two school years. This will be done in numerous ways. Facility upgrades to provide improved air quality in gymnasiums will take place in several schools. Additionally, old, inefficient windows in some of the schools will be replaced as a measure to improve the air quality in classrooms. Bottle filling stations will be outfitted on water fountains at the high schools to help prevent the spread of germs and viruses, especially those associated with the Covid-19 virus. The costs of nurses will be covered with these ARP ESSER funds in an effort to employ a nurse, either LPN or RN, at each school site, or at least in each school community. The cost of school personnel, including additional EL personnel, classroom teachers, tutors for before, during and after-school programs, summer programs, including EL and migrant may be covered with the ARP ESSER funds. The cost of substitute teachers and/or teacher's aides may be covered by these funds if they are needed to allow teachers to attend professional development opportunites, planning workshops and/or other activities to enable all schools to fully provide programs that will lessen the gap in academic achievement that resulted from the past pandemic and its' continuing impact on the school system. The cost of additional academic resources - technology in the form of software, hardware - support resources such as classroom materials, workbooks, and supplies - may be purchased with the ARP ESSER funds as well. Those services needed to provide continued professional development and training for teachers, administrators and other school personnel, to address strategies and methods by which academic loss can be addressed and further loss prevented, may be covered by the ARP ESSER funds. This will include the cost of the actual professional development activity, but also stipends, substitutes, and any other costs associated with enabling educators to take full advantage of the available professional development opportunities. Mental health resources to address staff and/or student needs will be funded from this grant. Lastly, if there is a need for additional safety, sanitation, hygiene, and/or protective gear/materials/supplies for staff or students, those items may be included in the budgeting of ARP ESSER funds. All ARP ESSER funds will be used to address issues created by the Covid-19 pandemic and its' on-going effects. All funds will be obligated and expended by September 30, 2024.

| 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? |
*
Purchases funded by ARP ESSER monies will focus on improving teaching/learning for all students, providing high quality resources to students and schools, providing resources for virtual learning in the case of school closures due to Covid-19, and providing before/after and during school tutoring opportunities. Summer learning, especially for those students identified as "vulnerable populations" such as EL, migrant, homeless, special education, students not reaching proficiency levels of literacy and other "at risk" students, will be partially funded using ARP ESSER funds, with portions of the cost funded by previous GEER and ESSER II funds, along with ALSDE literacy funds. The ultimate goal of all these purchases is to improve student learning and close the achievement gaps of those identified as most vulnerable and those impacted by the Covid pandemic. In addition to a focus on reading, the loss of math skills, prevalent at the middle school level, will be addressed by the addition of math interventionist at those schools and at all grade levels through tutoring programs..
Through on-going data collection of benchmark assessments and state accountability assessments, we will measure student growth trends in reading and math and disaggregate data to determine closure of identified achievement gaps. The goal of the school system is to reduce the gaps in achievement created by the Covid-19 virus and to mitigate the impact of the on-going pandemic in the current and future school years.

| 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. |
*
|
The St. Clair County school system follows a strict policy of "no barriers to education" in the admission of students, employees, etc. to the programs, benefits, information, etc. of the system. Through the implementation of, and strict compliance to its current policies, the St. Clair County school system will continue to provide services to students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries without barriers, regardless of the manner in which those services are provided. Should the need arise for school closure, those resources needed by students and/or teachers to provide continuation of the educational program through on-line instruction, will be provided by the school system to those individuals who do not have access to those resources and materials on their own. If any individual should encounter a barrier of any kind, it will be the mission of the St. Clair County school system, to immediately act in a manner to remove such barriers. All programs of the St. Clair County school system, are free from discriminatory practices and open to all qualifying individuals regardless of gender, race, color, national origin, disability, and 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 St. Clair County school systems will administer the monies provided by the ARP ESSER application in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, statutes, and requirements of the application. The St. Clair Cunty school system will provide procedural oversight and will use fiscal control and fund accounting procedures to ensure proper disbursement of, and accounting for, all ARP ESSER funds. The St. Clair County school system will monitor all allocations of ARP ESSER funds, along with all purchases made with those funds, by following its' current policy of inventory control and monitoring. This procedure involves a system of requisitions, purchase orders and approval of all expenditures prior to any purchase.
Following an expenditure, all resources purchased with ARP ESSER monies will, if applicable, be inventoried, tagged and then disseminated to the schools, or departments for which they were pruchased. Following the receipt, purchase and disbursement of resources using ARP ESSER funds, the St. Clair County school system will provide all required reports to the Alabama State Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Education, the local board of education, or any other entity to which reports are required to be made, and will maintain and provide access to such records, including the records required under section 443, as the State agency or board or the Secretary deem necessary to perform their duties.

|
|
| How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds? |
*
The St. Clair County school system will provide reasonable opportunities for the participation by teachers, parents, and other interested agencies, organizations, and individuals in the planning for and operation of the programs funded by the ARP ESSER and other relief fund monies. Through district-wide advisory council meetings, school advisory council meetings, planning sessions, and any other opportunities that avail themselves, the St. Clair County school system will seek input, ideas, and collaboration from stakeholder groups, interested in the success and academic progress of St. Clair County school students. In addition, comments, input and collaboration will be sought from all stakeholders by soliciting those inputs through an announcement on the St. Clair County Board of Education website.
Following completion of the application and implementation of the programs funded by the ARP ESSER monies, as well as other relief fund monies, all application, evaluation, planning, and reporting information related to those programs will be made readily available to parents, stakeholders and other members of the general public. As the grant funding period continues, input will continue to be sought from all stakeholder groups. Collaboration from these stakeholder groups will be considered as programs are evaluated and modifications, changes, and future amendments made.

1 - ARP ESSER funds will be used to fund a Summer School program for students in grades 5 through 12 that need remediation and/or credit recovery. St. Clair County Schools will waive the enrollment fee for any student in need of summer school to pass to the next grade for the summer of 2022, 2023, and 2024. Summer school will run for four weeks during the summer and will use a virtual format as sits' educational platform.
Personnel:
Director - Salary paid through regular SCCBOE 10-month contract
Teachers - 7 teachers @ $45.00 + Benefits x 15 hours per week x 8 weeks = $37,800.00 (Salary) + $7,616.70 (Benefits) = $45,416.70 x 3 years = $136,250.10.
7 teachers @ $45.00 + Benefits x 8 additional hours = $2,520.00 (Salary) + $ 507.78 (Benfits) = $ 3,027.78 x 3 = $ 9,083.34
Total Summer School Costs for 3 years: $145,333.44 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) = $120,960.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) = $24,373.44.
2 - ARP ESSER funds will be used to fund a Kindercamp at each elementary school to prepare students for first grade. The camp will be held at seven (7) sites for three (3) days during the summers of 2022, 2023, and 2024. The teachers and staff will work an additional day in preparation for the camp. The sites for the Kindercamps will be Ashville Elementary School, Moody Elementary School, Odenville Elementary School, Springville Elementary School, Steele School, Ragland School and Margaret Elementary School, with the expectation of approximately 400 students in attendance. The ratio of teachers to students will be 8 - 0 students to 1 teacher, This will enable the teacher to actively engage with all students as much as possible, thus making the students more comfortable. Hands-on materials and classroom supplies will be purchased for use during the KinderCamps at a rate of approximately $30.00 per student. 48 teachers x $45.00 per hour x 20 hours x 3 years = ($129,600.00) + benefits ($26,114.40) + $12,000.00 materials and supplies x 3 years = ($36,000.00).
KinderCamp Costs: $191,714.40 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) $129,600.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) $26,114.40; 9130 - [400-499] (Materials and Supplies) $36,000.00

ARP ESSER funds will be used to fund two after school tutoring programs.
1 - K-3 Literacy After-School Tutoring:
One program, for the 2023-2024 school year (one year), will serve grades K-3, with a focus on reading and math . The Alabama Literacy Act mandates K – 3 schools offer before / after school tutoring for students identified as having a consistent deficiency. The K-3 program will run 4 days a week for 1 hour per day - this provides 2 hours per week for reading instruction and 2 hours per week for math instruction. Every school within the district that houses K-3 will offer an after-school tutoring program (8 sites). This funding activity will be used in tandem with the ARP ESSER Reserve Afterschool Allocation to completely fund this activity. Teachers will be hired as needed, based on student participants. Each teacher will be paid $45.00 per hour + benefits. Estimating the need for 50 teachers, divided into 2 groups (two days apiece), the cost would be 50 teachers x 2 hours per week x 30 weeks x $45.00 + benefits = $135,000.00 + $27,202.50 = $162,202.50
Cost: $162,202.50 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) = $135,000.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) = $27,202.50
2 - K-12 Academic Tutoring:
The second program will serve grades K-12 for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years. Tutoring for K-12 will be academic tutoring in all core subject areas. Tutoring will be offered at every elementary, middle, junior high and high school site, with the number of teachers relative to the student population and the tutoring needs of the school. Tutoring will be provided at each school, two days a week - for two hours each day. Fifty teachers will initially be hired to serve the seventeen (17) school sites. 50 teachers x ($45.00 + Benefits) per hour x 2 hpd x 2 dpw x 30 weeks = $270,000.00 + $54,405.00 = $324,405.00 for 1 year. 2 years = $540,000.00 + 108,810.00 = $648,810.00.
Cost: $648,810.00 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) = $540,000.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) = $108,810.00
All tutoring programs funded by the ARP ESSER monies will end prior to September 30, 2024.
Cost of Comprehensive After-School Programs:
1 - Cost: $162,202.50 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) = $135,000.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) = $ 27,202.50
2 - Cost: $648,810.00 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) = $540,000.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) = $108,810.00
Total Cost of Comprehensive After-School Programs: $811,012.50 | 9130 - [010-199] (Salaries) = $675,000.00; 9130 - [200-299] (Benefits) = $136,012.50
All funds will be obligated and expended by September 30, 2024.

| NOTE: If an LEA chooses to use the "Other" intervention option, the LEA must attach documentation in the Related Documents section that shows that the Intervention is evidence-based (Tier I | Tier II | Tier III | Tier IV). |
1 - Math Intervention Teachers:
ARP ESSER funds will be used to fund a math intervention teacher at each middle school in the district. This will result in the hiring of five (5.0 FTE)) teachers, one each at Ashville Middle School, Moody Junior High School, Odenville Middle School, Springville Middle School, and Ragland School. These intervention teachers will be specifically hired to provide math intervention instruction to struggling students, particularly those who have had significant learning loss during the Covid pandemic at the Tier II as well as Tier III interventions if needed. These teachers will provide additional instruction during the school day, either through "push-in" strategies in the general eduation math classes, using targeting teaching strategies for those students, or through "pull-out" regularly scheduled intervention classes, during non-academic and/or non-required academic time. This instruction would be "in addition to" the general education math classes received by the student. Funding for these teaching positions would be for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years. Each teacher would also receive instructional supply money, in the amount of $1,000.00 per teacher x 5 = $5,000.00. Additional materials for classroom use will also be funded. Teacher salaries will be dependent upon the salary matrix and TEAMS qualifications. With an average salary of $65,000.00 + $22,697.50 (benefits) x five (5) teachers , the cost would be approximately $325,000.00 (Salaries) + $113,487.50 (Benefits) = $438,487.50 x two (2) years = $876,975.00.
Math Intervention Total Costs: $1,025,773.66 | 1110 - [010-199] (Salaries) $650,000.00 | 1110 - [200-299] (Benefits) $226,975.00; 1110 - [400-499] (Materials and Supplies) $148,798.66.
All funds will be obligated and expended by September 30, 2024.

6 - ARP ESSER funds will be used to fund the continuation, by an additional year, of a reading specialist position (1.0 FTE) to support the reading program and assist with closing the achievement gap by providing instructional strategies, data analysis, and other skills at the the St. Clair County virtual preparatory academy, as well as assist with the reading program in our schools that share the reading specialist. This position was originally approved in ESSER II and will be continued with ESSER III funding and is in response to the guidance of the Alabama State Department of Education and State Superintendent, Dr. Eric Mackey as outlined in the document Alabama Achieves: A New Plan for a New Decade (ALSDE, 2020) which serves as the strategic plan that unites the work of the Alabama State Department of Education and all stakeholders around the effort to fulfill the state department's motto: Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day. This document states that "to support students and raise achievement for all, it is necessary to support educators as they continuously hone their knowledge, skills, and abilities in the classroom. Coaching is a vehicle for job-embedded growth and support to improve instructional practice. Coaching fosters a community of learners working together toward a common goal: improved student achievement in all content areas.
Coaching provides opportunities for teachers to learn and refine these instructional practices, develop their abilities to reflect on and learn from their own teaching and the teaching of others, and incorporate new practices into their teaching routines and through those new practices, increase student academic achievement. .
This position was funded for the 2021-2022 and 2022 – 2023 school years through ESSER II monies. This will be a continuation of the contract for that position for the 2023-2024 school year. The number of elementary students enrolled in our virtual preparatory academy grew substantially during the pandemic and is predicted to remain at a higher-than-normal level for the upcoming school year / years. A reading specialist serving this cost center, will ensure high quality instructional materials and strategies which are grounded in the science of teaching reading are utilized in the virtual setting.

| Provide a summary of how the grant program will be administered, including the title of the staff responsible for the grant administration, the FTE(s), and other funding sources (if applicable) that will contribute to administrative staff salaries/benefits. Additionally, the description must include all estimated costs, match the administrative costs dollar amount listed above, and include the Function and Object codes associated with the charge. |
ARP ESSER funds will be used to pay for services completed over and above the regular contract time by both the federal programs coordinator and the federal programs bookkeeper/administrative, in an effort to assure that all ARP ESSER funds are expended and utilized in compliance with all local, state and federal requirements and the grant is managed in a compliant and effective manner. This "off contract" time, for both positions will be documented through the use of time and effort sheets and payroll records. The federal programs coordinator (1.0 FTE) will be responsible for the writing and amending of the initial grant application budgets, and budget amendments. In addition, the federal programs coordinator will be responsible for the oversight of all purchasing utilizing the funds provided by the ARP ESSER grant and inventory procedures. While actual inventory of items purchased with ARP ESSER funds, will be carried out by inventory personnel, the oversight of that inventory process, in regard to purchases made with federal monies, will be overseen by the federal programs coordinator. The federal programs bookkeeper/administrative assistant (1.0 FTE) will be responsible for the issuance of requisitions for all purchases that have been approved by the federal programs coordinator. In addition, the federal programs administrative assistant will be act as purchasing agent for items purchased with ARP ESSER funds, tracking those shipments and insuring items are received and routed to the appropriate department/school/person for whom they were purchased. All ARP ESSER funds utilized for administrative costs of the grant will be paid for the payroll period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.
It is estimated that the management of the ARP ESSER grant will require an additional 1.5 hours per day = 7.5 hours per week beyond regular contract hours for the federal programs coordinator and the federal programs bookkeeper/assistant. The federal programs coordinated (certified personnel) will be paid at the regular hourly rate of pay; the federal program assistant (classified personnel) will be paid the overtime hourly rate of pay.
Total Cost for three years: $111,592.08 | 6000-6999 [010-199] (Salaries) = $92,877.30; 6000-6999 [200-299] (Benefits) = $18,714.78.
All funds will be obligated and expended by September 30, 2024.
