Under the current unprecedented national health emergency, the legislative and executive branches of government have come together to offer relief to those individuals and industries affected by the COVID-19 virus under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136) authorized on March 27, 2020, and expanded through the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. The ESSER Fund awards grants to SEAs and for the purpose of providing local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that are LEAs, as well as Outlying Areas, with emergency relief funds to address the impact that Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools across the Nation. This information collection requests approval for a revision to a previously approved collection that includes annual reporting requirements to comply with the requirements of the ESSER program and obtain information on how the funds were used by State and Local Education Agencies. In accordance with the Recipient’s Funding Certification and Agreements executed by ESSER grantees, the Secretary may specify additional forms of reporting. This collection has 4 fewer grantee respondents than the originally approved version, as information reported from Outlying Areas will be obtained through a separate collection. The information collection also includes directed questions, in Attachment A, on which the Department is requesting public input.

There is a burden increase of 1,977,720 hours due to additional information being collected in light of the enactment of new statutes (CRRSA Act and ARP Act), which added funds and additional requirements to the ESSER program, as well as agency discretion. This has resulted in an increase from 10 to 140 hours per response for SEAs and from 5 to 140 hours for LEAs. Key additions to the collection include items that address: - Maintenance of Equity (per pupil allocations) - Participation counts for activities and interventions, disaggregated by subpopulation - ESSER allocations to high-poverty schools vs non-high poverty schools - School staffing for specific staff categories, with FTE detail at school level - Open text responses, such as “How will the LEA ensure the activities and interventions it implements address students’ academic, social, emotional and mental health needs and address the needs of students disproportionately impacted by Covid-19?” - Overlap between ESSER funding.
