                              Utah ARP ESSER State Plan Highlights
Total ARP ESSER allocation for Utah: $615,929,016
ARP ESSER funding released to Utah on March 24, 2021: $410,350,713
ARP ESSER funding released to Utah on July 7, 2021: $205,578,303
2020-2021 Preliminary Statewide Enrollment: 680,659

Top Priorities Within Utah’s Plan:


   •   Addressing student mental health and social emotional needs including, such as access to
       culturally responsive, youth-based mental health supports
   •   Identifying and engaging missing or disengaged students in K-12
   •   Addressing literacy in grades K-12

Highlights of Utah’s Plan:
   •   Returning to In Person Learning in 2021: The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) worked
       collaboratively with the Utah Department of Health, the Governor’s office, and others to establish
       health and safety protocols that supported most Utah students continuing with in-person learning
       throughout the 2020-2021 school year.

   •   Assessing the Impact of Lost Instructional Time: USBE developed a comprehensive plan for
       determining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on student learning, including the
       identification of relevant data sources and the addition of opportunity to learn questions on
       statewide summative assessments in grades 3-10. USBE also administered a school climate
       survey to all LEAs in spring 2021 to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each
       student subgroup. USBE is also actively collecting school level data on lost instructional time.
       USBE will use data from these sources to identify additional highest priority needs and identify
       any subgroups of students which have been most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

   •   Investing in Summer Learning and Afterschool Programs: USBE indicates that it will award
       ARP ESSER funds for evidence-based summer learning and evidence-based afterschool
       programming through a competitive grant process to both LEAs and community-based
       organizations (CBOs). In the application, the LEA must include a description of the evidence-
       based interventions that it will implement. Applicants will not only be required to support
       student’s academic needs, but also students’ social, emotional, and mental health needs to be
       awarded the ARP funds. Applicants will also be required to submit targeted plans to serve
       students most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and applications will be reviewed by subject
       matter experts.

   •   Re-Engaging Students: USBE is requiring LEAs and CBOs that are receiving funding for
       summer learning and afterschool programs to describe how they will identify and serve students
       who missed the most in-person instruction during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years and
       students who did not consistently participate in remote instruction when offered during school
       building closures. Applicants can utilize LEA attendance data from the local student information
       systems and local benchmarks assessments to identify students, as well as targeting students in
       need of credit recovery.
When Utah’s LEA Use of Funds Plans will be due: August 20, 2021
