American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund: Methodology for Calculating Allocations (Revised June 25, 2021)
Summary
The Department of Education's methodology for calculating American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund allocations, revised June 25, 2021. Section 2001 of the ARP Act of 2021, Public Law 117-2, requires the Department to allocate $121,974,800,000 to State educational agencies, and the Department used FY 2020 Title I, Part A State shares without the hold harmless provisions of ESEA section 1122. The allocations were revised after a downward revision by a State to data used for the FY 2020 and FY 2019 Title I allocations. Of the total, $109,777,320,000 is the minimum LEA distribution (90%), $12,197,480,000 the maximum SEA reservation (10%) and $609,874,000 the maximum for SEA administration. California's revised allocation is $15,079,696,097; each SEA must reserve at least 7 percent for learning loss, summer enrichment and afterschool programs.

American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School
Emergency Relief Fund
Authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Public Law 117-2
Methodology for Calculating Allocations (Revised June 25, 2021)
Section 2001 of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 requires the Department of
Education (Department) to allocate $121,974,800,000 in awards to State educational agencies
(SEAs) through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER Fund).
Section 2001(c) of the ARP Act requires the Department to determine ARP ESSER Fund
allocations based on the proportion that each State received under Title I, Part A of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in the most recent fiscal year. However,
section 1122(c)(3) of the ESEA prohibits the Department from considering the Title I, Part A
hold harmless provisions in ESEA section 1122 in calculating State or local allocations for any
other program administered by the Secretary, including the ARP ESSER Fund. Therefore, to
determine the ARP ESSER Fund allocations, the Department used the fiscal year (FY) 2020
State shares of Title I, Part A (Title I) allocations without the application of the hold harmless
provisions in ESEA section 1122.
Due to a downward revision by a State to data that the Department used to calculate FY 2020
and FY 2019 Title I allocations, the Department has revised the ARP ESSER Fund allocations,
as shown in the table below. The revised allocations reflect adjustments to ARP ESSER
allocations and ESSER II allocations resulting from the FY 2020 Title I data correction and
adjustments to ESSER I allocations resulting from the FY 2019 Title I data correction. The
Department will account for all of these corrections when it awards the remaining ARP ESSER
funds.
