ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY SCHOOL
RELIEF FUND III (ESSER III)

Elementary and Secondary School Relief (ESSER) Funds are funding received through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act to provide public schools with resources to support local recovery needs and efforts in response to COVID-19. Horizon Honors Schools has been allocated $886,920 in ESSER III funds to spend by September 30, 2024. 

Currently, Horizon Honors Schools is committed to using the majority of the funds to address the academic impact of lost instructional time and create a plan to respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Horizon Honors Schools will continue to evaluate the ESSER III plan to support student learning based on data analysis at the school level and community feedback.
