ESSER

The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund is a collection of federal grants that were given to states to help K-12 schools recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Please find the spending plans for the ESSER funds for Woodford County Public Schools. This page is for reference only. Additional financial documents can be found under the Financial Services tab.

Plan

  • Allocate $800,000 to schools utilizing a per pupil formula to support learning recovery/acceleration plans developed by the schools.
  • Allocate approximately $425,000 for summer programming in 2021 and 2022.
  • Allocate approximately $150,000 for furniture needs. This would allow schools to eliminate tables and move to all individual desks in classrooms. Spacing is more easily achieved while still having the opportunity for collaboration.
  • Approximately $22,000 allocated for an employee assistance program. This would provide employees the opportunity to receive any needed outside counseling services. This need was identified through an employee mental health survey. This covers the cost of the EAP for FY 22, FY 23 and FY 24.
  • Approximately $30,000 in technology. These funds would help cover the difference in costs for our chromebook bid over what is budgeted. This would be for FY 22.
  • Approximately $15,000 to address PPE needs for 2021-22.
  • Allocate approximately $690,000 for a one time salary supplement for all employees. Full time contracted employees would receive $1,000 and part-time contracted employees along with any full-time contracted employees hired after Jan. 1 would receive $500. This item would need board approval since it is a salary supplement and our plan is to have this for your consideration at the May 10th board meeting. This would provide our payroll staff as much time as possible to get this paid out in June.
