Federal Funding
About
Under the 2021-22 enacted state budget, the Westbury Union Free School District is committed to transparency regarding the allocation of federal funding received under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER), Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER), and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP). New York State has been allocated nearly $9 billion in ARP-ESSER funds, with at least 90%—approximately $8.09 billion—distributed to local education agencies, including public school districts like ours. As required, the district has outlined and published its spending plan on its website, ensuring accountability and alignment with the needs of our students and community. We encourage our community members to review these plans to understand better how we utilize these resources to support education and recovery efforts.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law. The CARES Act provides $30.75 billion nationwide in an Education Stabilization Fund to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. CARES is administered through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund and the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund.
ESSER:
New York State has been allocated $1.037 billion in ESSER funding. ESSER funding is being allocated to all LEAs that received 2019-20 Title I, Part A subgrants, including charter schools, Special Act School Districts, and school districts employing fewer than eight teachers. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, LEA allocations were calculated using the relative shares of grants awarded under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for the most recent fiscal year (2019-20). The CARES Act requires that a portion of these funds be made available to provide equitable services to non-public school students and teachers.
GEER:
New York State has been allocated $164.2 million in GEER funding. Pursuant to the direction of the Governor’s Office and the Division of the Budget, GEER funding has been allocated to the State’s 673 major school districts. GEER funds are not being allocated to LEAs that are charter schools, Special Act School Districts or school districts employing fewer than eight teachers. These funds have been allocated to eligible school districts using the relative shares of grants awarded under Title I, Part A of the ESEA for the most recent fiscal year (2019-20). The CARES Act requires that a portion of these funds be made available to provide equitable services to non-public school students and teachers.
Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA)
On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA Act) was signed into law. The CRRSA Act provides $81.88 billion nationwide in an Education Stabilization Fund to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. CRRSA will be administered through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund and the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund.
ESSER:
New York State has been allocated $4 billion under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund. Individual LEA allocations will be calculated by NYSED using the relative shares of grants awarded under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for the 2019-20 fiscal year. The CRRSA Act does not require that a portion of these funds be made available to provide equitable services to non-public school students and teachers.
GEER:
New York State has been allocated $322.9 million under the second Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund. Of the $322.9 million, $250.1 million is for a new Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) grant program, and the remaining $72.8 million is for the Governor to determine programming. The CRRSA Act requires the Governor to apply to USDE for the EANS funds and for NYSED to administer this program.
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) into law. ARPA makes available $122.8 billion nationally in a third round of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds. ARPA has no Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund.
ESSER:
New York State’s ARP-ESSER allocation is $8.99 billion. A minimum of 90% of these funds ($8.09 billion) must be allocated to local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that are LEAs. ARPA does not require that a portion of the funds allocated to LEAs be made available to provide equitable services to non-public school students and teachers. Individual LEA allocations will be calculated by NYSED using the relative shares of grants awarded under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) for the 2020 federal fiscal year.
