Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER II)
Authorized by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021
Methodology for Calculating Allocations
Section 311(b) of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) Act, 2021 )
requires the U.S. Department of Education (Department), after reserving 1 percent of the $81.88 billion appropriated
for the Education Stabilization Fund for the Outlying Areas (1/2 of 1 percent) and the Bureau of Indian Education at
the Department of the Interior (1/2 of 1 percent), to reserve 67 percent of remaining funds, or $54,311,004,000, for
the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER II Fund) authorized under section 313 of the
CRRSA Act.
Section 313(b) of the CRRSA Act requires the Department to allocate the ESSER II Fund based on the proportion
that each State received under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (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 ESSER II Fund. Therefore, to determine the ESSER II Fund
allocations, the Department used the fiscal year 2020 State shares of Title I, Part A allocations without the
application of the hold harmless provisions in ESEA section 1122.
