These resources will help get us safely back to school this fall and address the learning loss and the social and emotional toll that the last year took on students, educators, and our communities. The ARP ESSER state plans approved by the Department today, including Louisiana, show how states are using Federal pandemic resources to support safe in-person instruction and meet the social, emotional, mental health, and academic needs of students—with a focus on the students most impacted by the pandemic.
For example:. The Department is reviewing the plans expeditiously and is in contact with states to ensure their plans meet all necessary requirements in order to access the remaining funds, as outlined in the ARP. The Department also is in contact with states that have not yet submitted plans, the vast majority of which are due to state board of education or legislative review requirements.
The distribution of ARP ESSER funds is part of the Department's broader effort to support students and districts as they work to reengage students impacted by the pandemic, address inequities exacerbated by COVID, and build our education system back better than before. In addition to the actions the Biden Administration has taken to reopen schools, the President has proposed critical investments through his Build Back Better agenda that will enable schools to rebuild stronger than they were before the pandemic, such as investing billions to build a diverse educator workforce, expand access to pre-K to all families, and invest in school infrastructure, among other provisions.

School systems have updated reopening plans in preparation for the school year that are focused on in-person instruction. The state's plan emphasizes accelerating learning—which connects unfinished instruction to new learning rather than remediation—and includes tutoring in reading and math. Expanding Summer Learning and Enrichment Opportunities : LDOE intends to award incentive funds to support school systems in implementing summer learning programs that include tutoring and community service opportunities.
The summer learning programs will prioritize students most impacted by the pandemic. Expanding Afterschool Programs: LDOE intends to award incentive funds to support school systems in implementing comprehensive afterschool programs that include elective opportunities, tutoring, and mentorship.
