THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION
WASHINGTON, DC 20202
June 2, 2022
The Honorable Katie Jenner
Secretary of Education
Indiana Department of Education
South Tower, Suite 600
115 West Washington Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Dear Superintendent Jenner:
In the letter approving Indiana’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency
Relief (ARP ESSER) State plan, dated August 12, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education (Department)
placed conditions on Indiana’s ARP ESSER grant. Specifically, the conditions required that Indiana
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 March 15, 2021, Indiana submitted an updated ARP ESSER State plan addressing the 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 condition from Indiana’s ARP ESSER grant.
This letter and the updated plan will be posted on the Department's State Plans website here.
Additionally, the Department notes that Indiana updated sections A.1, and A.2 of its plan describing its
effective strategies and priorities in responding to the pandemic and section D.4 to describe additional
interventions that are under consideration.
Thank you for your efforts, and the efforts of your staff, to implement the ARP ESSER program and to
address the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of students, educators, and staff during
the pandemic. We look forward to continuing our work with you to support the education of students
in Indiana. If you have any questions, please contact your program officer at: Indiana.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
