The Grants & Funding Team at Savvas Learning Company is here to help school leaders and classroom educators better understand the Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief (ESSER) fund and how it can be used. We’ve created this quick overview of essential information. If you have questions or need assistance, get the support you need from a Savvas expert.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed three stimulus bills that provide economic assistance for American businesses and industries, including education.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act enacted March 27, 2020, $2.2 trillion dollars.
Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act enacted December 27, 2020, $900 billion dollars.
American Rescue Plan enacted March 11, 2021, $1.9 trillion dollars.
Within each of the three stimulus bills, the main program for K-12 education is Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) which distributes the funds based on Title I.
ESSER funds provide your school district an opportunity to implement evidence-based, equity-driven strategies.
Among the allowable activities, ESSER funds can be used for:
As you browse the Savvas website, look for programs with this badge to indicate alignment to ESSER funds.
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) requires that your district uses at least 20% of its ARP ESSER (also called ESSER-III) funds to address the academic impact of lost instructional time through the implementation of evidence-based interventions.
States have developed varying terminology for their "learning loss" initiatives, including Unfinished Learning, Resilience and Recovery Support, Learning Acceleration, and Addressing the COVID Slide.
While there are many ways to address the academic impact of lost instructional time, the table below provides your district with a sample of Savvas solutions that can immediately help. Many Savvas solutions align to ESSER funding. Check with your Savvas Account Manager.
Below are just some of our featured programs that can be purchased with your ESSER funds. Browse our entire array of programs.
