Background: The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) is a federal grant which requires that spending be used in specific areas.  Part of the Fairfax County Public Schools spending plan identifies funding to be used for Unfinished Learning and Student Academic and Social, Emotional, Mental Health (Wellness) Needs.  Schools have been given funding allocations to support the academic and wellness needs of students.  Schools are required to create plans in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Wellness highlighting the strategies they will use to support these areas using their ESSER III funding.  These strategies are shown below.

Access & Opportunity End of Year SMARTR Outcome

Goal: By the end of the 2021-22 SY, schoolwide, we will have moved into the “Transitioning into Practice” phase, specifically within the area of having texts and instructional materials that reflect the experiences and perspectives of diverse groups of people. This will be measured by the FCPS Schoolwide Equity Audit tool. 

Strategy 1 Expose students to texts, perspectives and contributions that represent diverse groups

Strategy 2 Work with school librarian and teachers to increase the number of books we have that reflect the multiple perspectives and contributions of diverse groups; within the classroom and school libraries
