MCSD RE-1 ESSER III Fund Disbursement Survey

We need your input!

In 2020 and 2021, Congress passed three stimulus bills that provide funding to the Elementary and Secondary Emergency Education Relief – or ESSER – Fund. States, including Colorado, are distributing portions of those funds to local education agencies, including Montezuma-Cortez School District RE-1 (MCSD).

MCSD RE-1 will apply to receive its allocation of ESSER III funds in March 2022. The estimated allocation that the district will receive is $9,937,610.47. ESSER III funds can be used to cover certain expenses incurred from March 13, 2020, through September 30, 2024.

As required by ESSER III grant guidelines, MCSD RE-1 is seeking stakeholder input to prepare to address needs of students and staff. Community feedback serves vital planning and preparation purposes as the district strives to meet the needs of its learning community.
