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?
*
Talladega County Schools will utilize ARP Funds to upgrade HVAC units across the school system to improve air quality, thus preventing the spread of COVID-19. Funding will also be utilized to purchase cleaning supplies, masks, and hand sanitizing products to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In addition, every school will have contactless entry installed at all school entrances. Lastly, additional nurses will be funded to assist with parent communication regarding positive case and close contacts.
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?
*
Talladega County Schools will assess all students at the beginning of each school year to determine academic gaps resulting from lost instructional time. A personalized learning plan will be developed for each student including iReady pathways, tiered intervention using an evidence-based program, and afterschool/summer school opportunities as needed. Each student having a personalized learning plan will ensure that all students' needs are addressed regardless of race, ethnic group, disability, socio-economic status, etc. In addition to meeting the academic needs of students, social/emotional and mental health needs will be assessed and addressed through the use of Suite 360 and school counselors.
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 follow local, state, and federal guidelines to assure there will be no barriers to participation. All students enrolled in the LEA will have access to and be eligible for participation in the 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?
*
Requisitions and purchase orders will be approved by multiple individuals. The Federal Programs department will reconcile spending reports each month. The Federal Programs coordinator will review and sign expenditure reports each month. The ALSDE will review and approve the LEA application for funds. The Alabama Department of Public Examiners will review the LEA accounting records annually to ensure compliance.
How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds?
*
Multiple personnel in the LEA will be working as interventionists for academics and student attendance. The funding sources will also be discussed at the annual Federal Programs Advisory Council meeting. 
Provide the URL for the LEA Return-to-Instruction Plan.
