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?
*

The LEA plans to use funds to implement prevention and mitigation strategies in order to continuously and safely operate schools for in-person learning by purchasing additional desks to separate students that use shared desktop space with less than 6 inches of separating students, especially if desk shields are not able to be installed. The system will develop an HVAC filter rotation schedule using higher filtration. This process will assist in filtering microorganisms and respiratory water molecules.  In general, the system will try to use MERV 13 filters or higher where applicable.  Also, the LEA will use air ionizers/air scrubbers to charge particles, particularly respiratory molecules, allowing the filtration system to trap these substances rather than being resuspended and spread throughout the room/building. The system will upgrade outdated HVAC as applicable to have the ability to control outside air induction and electronically control/manage the system. 
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?
*
The LEA will utilize data from progress monitoring instruments, teacher observations, input from administrators, interventionists, Intervention Coach, Intervention Coordinator, Literacy Specialist Coordinators, Community Outreach Coordinator etc. to ensure that the evidence-based interventions employed will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, including those in underrepresented population groups.

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 LEA will comply with the requirements of Section 427 of GEPA (20 U.S.C. 1228a) by doing the following:

  1.  Actively selecting and monitoring the involvement of participants in programs to ensure that all groups have equal access to, and participation in, ESSER III Programs.

  2. Educating students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries about their right to have equal access to, or participation in, the ESSR III Program.
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?
*

Decatur City School will actively monitor their allocations by verifying expenditures from purchase orders.  The finance department will compare requisitions to the budget before issuing the purchase order or submitting any orders.  

The Federal Programs Director will conduct quarterly and  yearly audits of programs utilizing specific data to ensure appropriate use of funds.  Central Office Staff will review data sources related to expenditures and monitor progress through student and school data.

The Federal Programs Supervisor and CSFO will conduct a monthly review of the fund report and budget analysis. 

 Title I Crate will be used to manage data elements required to  be reported.  Title I Crate is a web-based program that will help organize documentation in a central location and it is easily accessible to all users.

Audit, data, and budget information will be reported to the community at the end of each semester. The audit information will be housed on the DCS website for public access.


How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds?
*

Decatur City Schools will meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of ARP ESSER and other relief funds by employing a Community Outreach Coordinator who will work with the Parent and Family Engagement Specialist to build the relationship between the schools and parents and the community by taking a proactive approach to the following:

  • Offer parenting workshops

  • Provide mentoring/coaching for students and families

  • Coaching teachers on how to serve/build relationships with minority males

  • Enhance communication among families, communities, and schools 

  • Assist community in understanding all school-based safety requirements

  • Obtaining appropriate aide and assistance for families in need

  • Collaborate with community agencies to connect families with resources

  • Serve as a liaison between the school and courts/mental health

  • Create and distribute community/family needs assessments; collect and analyze results

  • Develop a Parent Academy in order to build parent knowledge and confidence as well as bring focus to the needs of the student to allow every student to reach full potential.

This collaborative effort will continue through the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 school year.   The intended outcome is to not only build excellent community and school partnerships but also to increase academic achievement in students, improve overall attendance efforts, and improve student behavior in Decatur schools.
