| 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? |
*
With these funds, Roanoke City Schools will purchase necessary supplies to continue to implement enhanced cleaning procedures. Common surfaces such as water fountains, sink knobs, and door handles will be cleaned more frequently using the adequate supply of products. Older and improperly working HVAC units will be replaced, and all filters will be changed on a more frequent schedule to ensure better air quality. Masks will be purchased and provided for students and faculty and distance will be maintained when available. Diagnostic and screening tests will be implemented beginning at home and by certified nursing staff when applicable. The school system will follow CDC recommendations and communicate those, along with vaccination information, to parents. Measures for the medically fragile will be put into place to offer a virtual school option. In the event of a large community outbreak, the school system will make necessary adjustments to operations and utilize a virtual school format with student learning platforms and programs in place with available one-to-one technology.

| 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? |
*
|
Roanoke City Schools will provide daily in-person instruction for all students. Instruction will be delivered by highly qualified teachers. In addition, the system is adopting a research-based curriculum for grades K-12 to provide continuity in instruction throughout grade levels. With this curriculum adoption, we are purchasing an extra intervention piece that will be used in addition to intervention measures already in place. Teachers will monitor progress frequently using formative assessments and identify any students in need of extra support. Additional intervention teachers and parapros are being hired to implement high quality intervention in addition to what is already being done in the regular classroom. A full-time school mental health counselor is being hired to work closely with staff, teachers, and school counselors to identify and address mental health needs. For those students with disabilities, amendments to IEPs and 504 plans will be made as deemed necessary by the respective teams. Afternoon intervention programs will be added at all three schools as well as intensive summer school programs. Enrichment camps designed to meet social and emotional needs of students will be added during the summer as well as a life skills camp for special needs students.

| 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. |
*
Roanoke City Schools will be implementing new STEM activities including a high school robotics team. In addition, plans are in place to offer a model secondary science program that will include Advanced Placement opportunities in science as well as computer science. Outreach activities to recruit more females and minority students in these predominantly male programs will be conducted.
Tiger Bean and Tiger Cafe Camps will be offered in the summer to include those children identified as special education students. The camps will give students the opportunity to be involved in summer activities and to learn socialization and life skills.
Efforts will be made to provide parents/guardians information on how to better help children with literacy, including reading strategies and tips, will be distributed at the elementary level as well as at early learning facilities located within the community. Child find efforts will be made to identify children with disabilities and special needs so that services can begin prior to public school enrollment.
|
|
|
|
| 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? |
*
|
Allocations will be handled through the district office. Purchase orders, receipts, and other purchase documentations will be kept on file for all purchases. The superintendent, federal programs coordinator and chief financial officer will be primarily responsible for expenditures. External audits will be conducted routinely by an auditor hired by the local school board.
|
|
|
|
| How will the LEA meaningfully engage with families and communities throughout the life of the ARP ESSER and other relief funds? |
*
|
Roanoke City Schools will continuously communicate and engage with families and the community. The first step was seeking public input through a survey sent out in a variety of modes to assess what was perceived to be the greatest needs of students. Orientations were held at all schools where information was provided to parents about school opportunities. Through letters sent directly from the schools and district as well as through social media parents/guardians will be provided information about all programs available to help children. Digital signs at each school will provide information to parents as well as texts sent directly to cell phones of those parents signed up to receive them. School administrators will also make contact with parents via telephone and in-person or Zoom meetings as necessary. During the summer months, communication in letter form will accompany summer meals. The final ARP ESSER plan will be available on the district website for all stakeholders to view.
