| 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 Wilcox County Public School System will use ESSER III funds to implement prevention and mitigation strategies that are, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance on reopening schools, in order to continuously and safely open and operate schools for in-person learning. ACPS will use a portion of its ARP Act ESSER III funds to implement the following prevention and mitigation strategies:
Improve ventilation in buildings and on school buses;
Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff, students and visitors; and
Purchase System-Wide Software to make documents available online for employees and visitors to help reduce person to person contact
Purchase desks and store excess furniture to allow for social distancing in classrooms.
Pay for professional building sanitation services
Purchase thermometers and thermal scanners to check temperatures of visitors and students
This funding will be used in conjunction with other funding sources to fully implement additional recommended prevention and mitigation strategies, including enhanced cleaning and disinfection, hand sanitation, contact tracing, tents to maximize outdoor spaces, etc

| 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? |
*
We will be allocating resources in ways that advance equity and ensuring they are adequate for providing the opportunities and supports students need to succeed is particularly important as we recover from the disparate impact of COVID-19 on different communities of ethnicity and communities experiencing poverty. Addressing the many dimensions of resource equity, including equitable and adequate school funding, access to a well-rounded education, well-prepared, effective, and diverse educators and staff, and integrated support services, can begin to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on schools and students and can close long-standing gaps in educational opportunity. We will continue to use practices that have been implemented from our ESSER II plan such as extended day, summer school, additional fte's, and classroom supplies. We are a district with a high level of poverty, so we will continue to implement current measures to serve those impacted by COVID-19. Every effort will be made to ensure homeless students will not be stigmatized and/or alienated due to their status. All referrals will be confidential and identification of homeless status will not be included on the student's permanent record
Section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act requires each Local Education Agency (LEA) to use at least 20% of its formula funds to address the academic impact of lost instructional time (learning loss) through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning & enrichment, extended day, comprehensive after-school programs, or extended school year programs. ACPS will use no less than 20% of its ARP Act ESSER III funds to address unfinished learning as described below:
- Provide expanded academic and enrichment programming for summer 2023 and summer 2024
- Extended Day programs during the school year
Hire additional staff (Interventionist, Instructional Aides, and a Reading Specialist)
|
|
|
|
| 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 Wilcox County Board of Education already has policies in place to prevent barriers in regards to race, gender, color, nationality, disability, and age. We will continue to implement these measures in all programs that are offered by the district.
Wilcox County Board of Education will remove barriers for all students, teachers, and other staff (regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, disability, and age) by promoting a culture of belonging, safety, and self-worth, which supports equal access for all individuals. If barriers arise within the district, we will address them in an efficient and effective manner.
|
|
|
|
| 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 Wilcox County Board of Education will administer each program by the application in accordance with all applicable statutes, regulations, program plans, and applications. The control of funds provided to the local educational agency under ESSER III, and will administer those funds and property;
The Board of Education will make reports to the State agency or board and to the Secretary as may reasonably be necessary to enable the State agency or board and the Secretary to perform their duties and that the local educational agency will maintain such records, including the records required under section 443, and provide access to those records, as the State agency or board or the Secretary deem necessary to perform their duties. The local educational agency will use fiscal control and fund accounting procedures that will ensure proper disbursement of, and accounting for, Federal funds paid to that agency under each program
|
|
|
|
| How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds? |
*
A parental involvement advisory committee composed of representatives from the community, parents, students, teachers, and administrators involved in all Federal Programs was formed to revise the LEA Parental Involvement Plan. Committee representatives were selected because of their dedication and interest in the success of our students and school.
The required annual meetings are held at each school independent of other meetings, such as PTA.
Input from parents and community members is actively sought in order to ensure that both parent and student needs are identified and that all available community resources are being utilized. The focus of Wilcox County Schools' Parent Involvement Plan is to involve parents in the educational process of their children through activities, communication, school activities, and volunteer programs. Throughout the year, goals and progress are communicated to stakeholders through PTA meetings, local school staff meetings, newsletters, and the local media, so that there is a shared commitment for a quality education for all students in Wilcox County Schools.
A copy of the Wilcox County Schools Parent Involvement Policy (Appendix A) and Plan will be located in the Superintendent's office, Federal Program Director's office, and in each school's front office for review. A copy of the Parental Involvement Policy and Plan will be distributed to students to be hand delivered to parents. Procedures are outlined in the Wilcox County Schools' Parent Involvement Policy that allows all parents to make and submit concerns about the Parent Involvement Policy/Plan or Local Education Association Consolidated Application to the Principal. If these concerns are not addressed to the satisfaction of the parent, the parent may submit in writing these concerns to the Federal Programs Director who will in turn forward them to the Federal Programs Director at the State Department of Education

ARP ESSER funds will be used to improve Air Quality via Facility Improvements:
HVAC/BAS Upgrades/Electrical Infrastructure
Many of the heating, ventilation, and cooling systems in Wilcox County Schools are currently failing and in desperate need of replacement. Many units have already failed, and others experience several issues and are past the end of their useful life. Without many units operating properly, the HVAC systems cannot provide comfortable space temperatures nor dehumidify for space comfort during the warmer months.
The ESSER funds will procure a new turnkey mechanical equipment solution on an as needed basis, threw new variable speed fans, two-stage compressors, bipolar ionization, and associated materials. We will redesign and replace the systems to improve indoor air quality, increase building occupant comfort, and increase reliability to address this critical infrastructure need. The goal at the forefront of this undertaking is to significantly reduce the risk of Covid-19 by ensuring outside air requirements are being met to provide a safer environment.
*******We already have $1,164,858.00 Budgeted in our ESSER II plan for Facility Improvements so that will affect how much we budget in ESSER III.*******
Total Cost: $4,850,000.00 | 7200 - [500-599] (Capitalized Units) $4,800,000.00 | 3200 - [400-499] (Non-Capitalized Units and Supplies for Repairs) $50,000.00
To be included: Replacement of failed Water source heat pumps at Wilcox Central HS. Renovate units at the gymnasium 4 of the six units are failing at Wilcox Central HS.

Install new rooftop unit in the foyer at Wilcox Central HS. Replace cafeteria area and kitchen units at Wilcox Central HS. Replace main office unit at Wilcox Central HS. Replace stadium field house units that have failed Wilcox Central HS. Replace units serving the special needs classrooms at Wilcox Central HS. Replace wall packs to improve classroom comfort at CSAT. Auditorium split-systems to be replaced at CSAT. Steam boiler Demolition due to lack of need at CSAT. They will replace the current failed A/C units then remove the old units including the boiler. This will cut down on the moisture levels that is causing mold issues.
Implement a new District-wide Building automation system in all 7 of the district facilities. Enable maintenance to be proactive in correcting issues through alarms and alerts that indicate emerging issues.
Centrally monitor and control temperatures; easily schedule buildings; full Direct Digital Control (DDC) of all district HVAC equipment
The cost of these upgrades is anticipated to be between $5.2M and $5.8M depending on the scope of work and fluctuation in material and labor costs.
Building Envelope
Seal all penetration points in and around the building to ensure proper indoor air quality is being achieved. In addition, add door sweep and replace windows where necessary to ensure a comfortable and safe learning environment. All locations except for the central office.
The cost of these upgrades is estimated to be between $110K - $120K depending on the upgrades made.

We will also use software such as Brigance that will assist staff with transitions.
The BRIGANCE Transition Skills Inventory (TSI) helps educators easily assess independent living, employment, and additional post-secondary skills to support transition planning for middle- and high-school students. It assists with determining present level of performance in transition skills. It is used to develop transition goals and objectives for IEPs that meet IDEA requirements, assess a wide range of student abilities, monitors and reports progress toward transition goals, and deliver data-driven instruction with the BRIGANCE Transition Skills Activities.
The (TPI-3) provides school personnel with a systematic way to address critical transition planning areas that are mandated by the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act of 2004. It also accounts for individual student preferences, interests, strengths, and needs. Key information is gathered from students, parents, guardians, and school personnel through the use of core and specialized rating scales and open-ended questions. The TPI-3 can serve as the main vehicle for identifying transition needs or can complement existing procedures that are being used in a school district. In many cases, it can serve as a framework for acquiring more detailed assessment information. The most important outcomes are identifying transition preferences, interests, strengths, and needs, regardless of methodology; developing necessary plans; and acting on resultant goals.
