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?
*
Cullman County Schools will use funds to implement prevention and mitigation strategies by purchasing sanitation foggers, hand sanitizing machines, cleaning supplies, and hand sanitizers to enforce the safety of operating schools for in-person learning. Funds will be used to purchase proper PPE for staff, students, and any visitors that may not have a PPE. Funds will be used to upgrade ventilation systems and signage for classrooms, hallways, and entrances. Funds will be used to sanitize all buses and provide proper PPE for students and employees when using bus transportation. Funds will be used to upgrade all nurses stations to be in compliance with the guidelines from the ADPH. All funds will be used in line with the most recent CDC guidelines, in order to continuously and safely operate school for in-person learning. 
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?
*

Cullman County Schools will ensure that the interventions implemented will  be evidence based interventions that will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including students from low-income families, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children and youth in foster care, and migratory students. Cullman County Schools will use funds to implement summer learning and summer enrichment programs for grades k-5, summer school for grades 6-12th, before and after school programs that will use evidence-based interventions to meet the needs of all students to address academic learning loss. Cullman County Schools will analyze diagnostic data a minimum of three times a year to track the progress of students, focusing on those performing below grade level. The following programs will be used to provide interventions to students: Star360, MyOn, Edmentum, Reading Horizons, Spire. After school programs will be available free of charge for all students in the district with certified teachers providing support to the student to meet their individual academic needs. Interventions will be adjusted as needed based on the student's performance on diagnostic test and in the classroom. Summer programs, Summer Learning for Kindergarten through fifth grade students and Summer School for sixth through twelfth grade, will also be available free of charge to provide students the academic support needed to help them master missing skills due to lost instructional time related to COVID-19. There will be opportunities for students to recover failed or missing credits to help them stay on track with their co-hort for graduation. ESSER funds have been used to add additional teacher units and increase the number of paraprofessionals to lower the students teacher ration for students with disabilities. We have addressed the needs of students with significant behavioral needs by increasing and additional board certified Behavioral Anaylsist services for our district to the lack of structure and one-on-one instruction lost during virtual, hybrid and remote instruction. We have purchased a multi-sensory reading intervention program to address the needs of our students whom the virtual and remote curriculum did not adequately meet their needs. 

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.
*
Cullman County Schools will engage in meaningful consultation and provide input with the development of the ESSER III with students, families, schools, and district administrators (including special education and EL coordinators). Cullman County Schools conducted surveys with stakeholders for the planning process of the ESSER III plan. Cullman County Schools will engage in meaningful consultation with stakeholders and give the public an opportunity to provide input in the development of the ESSER III plan. Teachers, principals, school leaders, other educators, school staff, and other associations will serve on the ESSER III advisory committee to review surveys and data while developing the ESSER III plan. 
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?
*
Cullman County Schools will active monitor the funds spent by inventory, school visits, and audits throughout the school year to be in compliance with state monitoring. The Cullman County Schools will provide the ALSDE with descriptions of evidence-based programs, timelines, and budgets for all expenditures. 
How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds?
*
Cullman County Schools will communicate and engage families in an understandable and uniform format the ARP ESSER plan and other relief funds by have the plan on the website and printed copies at the local schools in a written language that parents can understand or, if not practicable, orally translate the plan. If a request is given by a parent who is an individual with a disability, an alternative format will be provided accessible to that parent. The Federal Programs Director will be available to answer any questions about the ARP ESSER and other relief funds throughout the life of the grant.
