NH school districts are receiving over $315 million in federal ARP ESSER funding to address the impacts of COVID-19. We looked at five of our state’s largest districts to see if they are distributing their funding in an equitable manner to assist the students who need it the most, including students with disabilities. Although we couldn’t look at all districts, you can request this information from your district.

What Can You Do?
A requirement of this federal funding is to engage in ongoing meaningful communication with the public. Is this happening in your district?
- Ask your your school board representative, school principal, or Superintendent whether any opportunities are planned for families and stakeholders to provide input on the ongoing use of these funds and if they aren’t, request that such opportunities are made available in the near future.
- Provide input on how your school district should be spending these funds. We have created a Template Letter with some disability-related priorities that you can use or reference.
