ESSER III Plan Approved

The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER)III was established to help schools safely reopen and sustain safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students. Based on input from stakeholders and a comprehensive review of student data, Santa Fe ISD submitted their Proposed Plan in July to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

On August 5, 2021, the plan was accepted to go forward from TEA.  Click on the documents below to see the Approved ESSER III Use of Funds Plan (English and Spanish Versions)

Media Release for Seamless Summer Option Free Meals in School Year 2021-2022
