| 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? |
*
JefCoEd will ensure that the evidenced-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 and those who are particularly impacted disproportionately by the pandemic. Interventions provided by ARP ESSER funds include, but are not limited to, the following:
-Hiring additional personnel such as instructional coaches, teachers, paraprofessionals, social workers, LEA instructional specialist, and speech pathologists
-Providing an extended day program for students in grades K-12
-Purchasing and implementing specialized software and curriculum to address the academic and social/emotional needs of students
-Providing quality professional development to staff
|
|
|
|
| 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. |
*
JefCoEd is sensitive to the needs of students, staff, and families. Efforts to remove barriers that impede access or participation are continuously examined. Those barriers include gender, race, national origin, color, disability, and age. Communication is made, to the extent practicable, in a language all can understand. Demographics of program participation is examined and then recruitment efforts are made for underserved groups. ARP ESSER funds will be used to provide social workers and social/emotional support to increase safety and enhance the well-being of our students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries. Equal access to learning will be provided by the purchase of "hot spots" for students, especially those in rural and underserved areas. In addition, a unique learning system and a non-reading vocational interest inventory will be purchased for students with disabilities. Finally, ARP ESSER funds will be used to target the whole student. For example, initiatives include academic, fine arts, and career technical programs in an effort to meet the various interests and needs of all students. JefCoEd will ensure that no student or teacher will be denied participation based on gender, race, national origin, color, disability, or 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? |
*
|
JefCoEd will use established internal controls to monitor the allocations, conduct interim audits, collect and manage data and report information. The district team will conduct monthly budget reviews to monitor spending. All purchases will go through a multiple step process for approval to be sure federal procurement rules are followed. Stakeholders will be informed through various means such as committee meetings, FPAC/FPPAC meetings, board meetings, etc. Data and evidence will be collected throughout each year of the grant to examine the effectiveness of implementation. The district plan is spend 49% of ARP ESSER funds by the end of the 2021-2022 fiscal year. By the end of 2022-2023 that amount will be approximately 78%, then the district will finish the grant spending by September 30, 2024.
|
|
|
|
| How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds? |
*
JefCoEd will meaningfully engage with families and communities by active, two-way communication. One such way that ARP ESSER funds will be used is by the addition of the Blackboard app which will streamline communication for teachers, schools, and the district to use the same platform for communication to improve ease of use and accuracy of information delivered. It will also provide a two way communication option between parents and teachers not previously available. The Blackboard web manager will provide the K-12 community with an easy to use web hub to provide communication, information, and links to resources for parents at all school sites and the district level. This platform is a safe and effective way for teachers to communicate with families from the classroom level. Language barriers are decreased due to capability to communicate and translate between languages.
Additionally, the district's digital dashboard which is located on the JefCoEd home page will be utilized to engage with families and communities. Of course, stakeholder meetings at the local and district levels will continue with many opportunities for families to interact and build capacity. The superintendent may also distribute information about relief funds in his weekly stakeholder correspondence messages via video (social media), website, and/or email.

The Blackboard mass notification portal for K-12 allows for communication based on automatically updated data from students, parents and community contacts to ensure communication with essential stakeholders. Messages may be personalized for meaningful contact and may be managed for social media, email, text, and phone call with one notification to communicate with stakeholders in the manner they prefer. Data may be collected to gain insight on stakeholders reached and contacts that may need to be updated for improved communication. This portal allows for communication with groups, individual schools, and entire district messaging. The Blackboard Reach component allows teachers to communicate with families they serve in a safe and effective manner from the classroom level. Transparent conversations protect all users based on the safety components of the platform. Teachers and parents are linked automatically via class rosters and contacts. No special codes, invites, or links are needed, which breaks down barriers to communication. Language barriers are decreased due to capability to communicate and translate between languages. All conversations with teachers are placed in one spot for parents via the app with alerts for unread messages and assured privacy via authenticated app and web access.
A data dashboard (Schoolzilla) will also be purchased. This purchase will support students and their parents, along with school and district staff, by providing the following services: data warehousing, analysis, and reporting of critical performance measures, monitoring of school improvement efforts and progress around key metrics, early warning system for the identification of at-risk students (grades, attendance, and behavior). Schoolzilla allows leadership to disaggregate student data quickly to identify achievement gaps, absenteeism, and disproportionality with student behavior. By monitoring this data in real time, Schoolzilla presents systemic changes to support student achievement with actionable data on an ongoing basis. School staff will be able to use these metrics when creating an individualized plan for students which can easily be shared with parents.

Employee Professional Development (additional duties)
ARP ESSER funds will be used to address professional development needs for employees during the 2021-2022 school year. All full time benefited employees will have the opportunity to earn $1000 per semester by completing professional development modules. Employees will be required to complete two modules each semester and upon completion will qualify for the payment. The well-being of employees has been compromised due to the COVID pandemic; therefore, the modules will focus on mental health and the social/emotional status of all involved. All work will be completed during off contracted hours and will be tracked through a set of district internal controls. Funds are being allocated for the 2022-2023 school year but a final decision will be made at a later date whether to proceed with this initiative for a second year.
Total Cost: $17,600,000.00 ($8,500,000 per year)
