¹ú²úºÚÁÏ

Federal requirements mandate that State ¹ú²úºÚÁÏal Agencies (SEAs) provide technical assistance to Local ¹ú²úºÚÁÏal Agencies (LEAs), as well as oversee and monitor the implementation of ¹ú²úºÚÁÏ Stimulus Funds (ESF).

Based on that understanding, the Office of ESSA-Funded Programs Project Staff will monitor for compliance and provide technical assistance related to the programmatic and fiscal requirements under the following ¹ú²úºÚÁÏ Stimulus Funds:

• Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER I) Fund
• Governor’s Emergency ¹ú²úºÚÁÏ Relief (GEER I & GEER II) Fund
• Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA/ESSER II) Act
• American Rescue Plan (ARP), including the State-Level Reserves:
  
  • 5% - Addressing the Academic Impact of Lost Instructional Time
  • 1% - Comprehensive After-School
  • 1% - Summer Learning and Enrichment

The Project Staff used a risk-based approach to select LEAs from across New York State for monitoring reviews to determine compliance with requirements outlined in the ¹ú²úºÚÁÏ Stimulus Funds. All LEAs that received allocations under the ¹ú²úºÚÁÏ Stimulus Funds will be monitored between September 2022 and September 2024

The ¹ú²úºÚÁÏ Stimulus Fund monitoring will consist of 3 types of monitoring of the programs outlined above:

Due to the large number of LEAs that will be monitored between September 2022 and September 2024, LEAs will be separated into Review Groups to facilitate scheduling and the review process.
