How the ESSER Funds Can Help Your School

Congress set aside funds allotted to the Education Stabilization Fund through the CARES Act for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund). (via oese.ed.gov). There have now been three rounds of ESSER Fund allocations (ESSER I, ESSER II, & ESSER III), and we are here to help your organization navigate utilizing these funds to skill-up students. *

“The ESSER Funds are allowing our school to implement a new Industrial Maintenance classroom as well as Industry 4.0 curriculum – with these improvements, students can work towards an Industry-Recognized 12-Point Credential and an alternate pathway to graduation. Jason & Buckeye Educational Systems have been essential to helping us navigate our options and are always willing to come on-site to discuss which credentials we can offer to our students.”

– Marcia Pitts, Career Pathways and Testing Supervisor, Marion City Schools

Deciding How to Utilize ESSER Funds for Student Success

“For me, it starts with first looking at how you’d like to improve student achievement or outcomes, and then you take a look at the operations side of things – what will be required to accomplish that improvement.” 

–  Benjamin Porter, Director of Teaching & Learning, Marion City Schools
