The Cares Act and ESSER funding for schools: Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) ActOn March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Among its many provisions, the Act includes specific funding sources for Local Education Agencies, specifically, Section 18003 of the CARES Act establishes the Elementary Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSERF).The core purpose of the Elementary and Secondary school Emergency Relief Fund is to provide direct money to school districts and provide funding to support areas impacted by the disruption and closure of schools from COVID-19. It should be noted that the CARES Act ESSER funding is a one-time appropriation from the U.S. Department of Education (USDE).
