Unpacking and Impacting ESSER Funds

Organizing Beyond COVID Recovery: Unpacking and Impacting ESSER Funds

Vermont school districts are receiving a total of 285 Million as part of the American Recovery Act. The decisions about how this money is spent need to include input from the community with a specific focus on historically marginalized groups. The question remains as to whether schools will meaningfully engage caregivers, educators, and students as required by the US Dept. of education.

In the panel portion of this event we will learn from community members throughout the state that have been organizing to ensure their COVID Recovery money is spent to further justice and equity. In addition, there will be time to connect in small groups with others who want to make change together.

If your district has not engaged with you, come to this event to get the tools needed to make your voice heard. The time is now!
