Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund Community Stakeholder Engagement |
The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) and the State Board of Education need your input and perspective to ensure Colorado makes the most impactful use of federal funds the state will receive to support students, teachers and schools recovering from the interruption to our schools as a result of COVID-19.
CDE will be hosting these virtual meetings to share information about the federal funds the state will be receiving and to spend the majority of the time listening to attendees and learning from your experiences. We’ll explore questions in a variety of areas to hear directly from attendees about the pandemic’s impact on students and educators to inform the use of these one time federal funds.
