NCLUSD ESSER lll Funding Stakeholder Survey
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an undeniably difficult situation for many in our NCLUSD community and in our nation over the past 16 months. As we return to in-person learning, we know that many of our students will require a significant amount of attention to address academic needs, social-emotional needs, and safety as they re-engage in the traditional school setting.
NCLUSD has received a large amount of federal funding that is being made available through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) program. This funding will last for three years, and it is intended to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students. ESSER funding must be used to meet needs that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.
We would like to ask you to complete a short survey as district stakeholders. Your responses will help us to finalize the major areas of need for which we will use “ESSER III” funding in NCLUSD.
The survey begins below, and responses will be collected through Friday, September 17 at 11:59 PM. We thank you for your feedback and support!
