The release says that this second round of funds, from the American Rescue Plan ESSER III program, will aid the districts in their summer and extended-year learning programs through the Summer Learning Supplemental Grant to aid in a variety of education programs to mitigate the amount of student learning loss due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
