      The American Rescue Plan of 2021 provides a third round of stimulus funds known as Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief (ESSER 3.0) to states and local school districts to safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools that would address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the nation's students. The Sequatchie County School System has received a portion of this funding and is requesting feedback from parents, community members, staff members, and students to assist the district in the decision-making process of how these funds can best be spent to benefit the overall success of students. Thanks in advance for your help.
