282 |
ESSER III of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 |
This code is used to account for federal stimulus ESSER III funds granted to LEAs through the American Rescue Plan Act to address learning loss and the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on certain student subgroups, identify and provide homeless children and youth with services in light of challenges of COVID-19, and to enable homeless children and youth to attend school and participate fully in school activities. |
The addition of this new code will be used to account for all financial transactions to identify the fund group, specific fund, and permissible use of the funds. In addition to using the new fund code, when using the stimulus funds for one-time uses like a non-recurring stipend or certain supplies or maintenance, use a local option code to be sure that, if the Texas Education Agency (TEA) or members of the legislature want to know how the funds were spent, your district can provide that level of detail. Information on the new fund code for ESSER II is forthcoming.
