The first section is below, along with iCademy's response based on stakeholder feedback. What are your thoughts? 

REQUIREMENT:
Please describe the extent to which and how the funds will be used to implement prevention and mitigation strategies that are, to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with the most recent CDC guidance on reopening schools, in order to continuously and safely open and operate schools for in-person learning:

 RESPONSE:

iCademy Global will use the funds to purchase air purifiers to improve air quality in our classrooms and other small spaces throughout the building. The school building has high ceilings where the air is readily circulated but does not circulate well in the smaller areas. In addition, portions of our HVAC system will be upgraded to ensure proper and optimal ventilation, heating, and cooling to reduce the spread of disease and lower the risk of exposure by reducing the viral particle concentration.

The second section is below, along with iCademy's response based on stakeholder feedback. Our plan is to further address instructional learning loss by supplementing these funds with another grant to provide additional instructional support during break weeks beginning the second semester. What are your thoughts? 

REQUIREMENT:
Please describe how the LEA will use the funds it reserves under section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act (see below) to address the academic impact of lost instructional time through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive after-school programs, or extended school year:

RESPONSE: 

iCademy Global will use the funds to pay teachers, other staff, and overhead costs and materials to implement a program that would include specific, evidence-based reading and mathematics interventions and small group or one-to-one tutoring. In addition, we will use funds to staff a school program by using our current staff and/or tutors for purposes of providing additional learning opportunities. We will also use funds to hire tutors for each grade band ( k-2, 3-5, 6-8) to help support accelerated learning by providing just-in-time learning. Finally, funds will be used to staff a mentor position that will oversee all of these programs. Adaptive online tools such as Lexia, Imagine Learning to meet individual student academic needs on targeted standards.

The third section is below, along with iCademy's response based on stakeholder feedback. What are your thoughts? 

REQUIREMENT:
Please describe how the LEA will spend its remaining ARP ESSER funds consistent with section 2001(e)(2) of the ARP Act:

 RESPONSE: 

iCademy Global will use the funds to provide mental health support for students by expanding school counselor FTE who are able to work with an expanding reach of students. Additionally, we plan to continue the delivery of evidence-based online social-emotional learning curriculum. We also plan to enhance experiences for students with community members and community resources. Funds will be used to maintain and/or increase staff to ensure smaller class sizes to help with COVID mitigations strategy for our blended programming (social distancing) and address the learning loss and mental health needs of each student. Finally, funds will be used to address onboarding of students who are new to online learning.    .

The fourth section is below, along with iCademy's response based on stakeholder feedback. What are your thoughts? 

REQUIREMENT:
Please describe how the LEA will ensure that the interventions it implements, including but not limited to the interventions implemented under section 2001(e)(1) of the ARP Act (see below) to address the academic impact of lost instructional time, will respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including students from low-income families, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care, and migratory students:

RESPONSE: 

Funds will be used by increasing the number of school days, teacher and staff professional development, as well as related materials. We will provide ongoing specialized professional development for the purpose of helping teachers develop Tier I skills that support students in areas of academic loss and social-emotional development. This professional development would include working with the Formative Assessment for Michigan Educators project (FAME) run by the Michigan Assessment Consortium and sponsored by the Michigan Department of Education.  In addition, building sub(s) will be hired to provide coverage for teachers because of illness, as well as providing opportunities for teachers to participate in the identification of student needs both academically and socially. Finally, funds will be used to support the hiring of math, reading, and behavior interventionists in both the elementary and middle school, high school grades. These interventionists will identify students that have specific academic and mental needs and provide support through evidence-based interventions.
