The Honorable Kathy Hoffman
Arizona Department of Education
1535 West Jefferson Street
Phoenix, AZ 85007

Dear Commissioner Hoffman:

In the October 7, 2021, letter approving Arizona’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary
School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) State plan, the U.S. Department of Education (Department)
placed conditions on Arizona’s grant. Specifically, the conditions required that Arizona amend its ARP
ESSER State plan to describe, in section D of its State plan, the evidence-based interventions it will
implement using the funds it reserves under section 2001(f) of the ARP Act.

On September 30, 2022, Arizona submitted an updated ARP ESSER State plan that responds to these
conditions by describing the evidence-based interventions it will implement to address: (1) the academic
impact of lost instructional time, (2) summer learning and enrichment programs, and (3) comprehensive
afterschool programs and how the interventions it identified will address the disproportionate impact of
COVID-19 on certain groups of students. As a result, I am removing the conditions from Arizona’s ARP
ESSER grant. This letter and the updated plan will be posted on the Department's State Plans
website, here.

Thank you for your and your staff’s efforts to implement the ARP ESSER program and to address the
academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of students and educators. If you have any
questions, please contact your program officer at: Arizona.OESE@ed.gov.

                                                Sincerely,




                                                James F. Lane, Ed. D
                                                Senior Advisor, Office of the Secretary
                                                Delegated the Authority to Perform the
                                                Functions and Duties of the Assistant Secretary
                                                Office of Elementary and Secondary Education
