American rescue plan - elementary and secondary schools emergency relief fund (ARP-ESSER)

This formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education provided $1,321,564,450 to the Minnesota Department of Education under the Education Stabilization Fund (CFDA 84.425) on March 24, 2021. The funding supports the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund and is intended to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic through September 30, 2023. A portion of the funds support specific training and support services delivered by sub-awardees, including anti-bias and trauma-informed practices training, non-exclusionary discipline training, and life and vocational skills training. Major sub-awardees were schools, non-profits, and tribal governments that received funding to provide these services to elementary and secondary schools in Minnesota through various programs aimed at supporting student learning recovery in response to the pandemic.
