We are really excited to share a new guide, Advancing Student and Staff Health with COVID-19 Relief Funding, which highlights how districts should consider using ESSER funds to support student and staff health. In addition to sharing information on how school districts can use COVID-19 relief money for capacity building and infrastructure, the guidance details how these federal funds can be used to access additional funding streams, such as Medicaid, to ensure the efforts initiated with COVID relief aid are sustained. For more information, check out the guidance here.
Developed by the AASA, FutureEd, Healthy Schools Campaign and Kaiser Permanente, the guide provides an essential roadmap for strategic and sustainable investment that can help advance student and staff health for years to come.
