                             Georgia ARP ESSER State Plan Highlights
Total ARP ESSER allocation for Georgia: $4,252,431,691
ARP ESSER funding released to Georgia on March 24, 2021: $2,832,914,163
ARP ESSER funding released to Georgia on July 22, 2021: $1,419,517,528
2020-2021 Preliminary Statewide Enrollment: 1,730,015
Top Priorities within Georgia plan:
   • Accelerating learning by identifying the academic impact of lost instructional time
   • Personalizing supports for students, educators, and districts to recover from COVID-19
   • Promoting opportunity by ensuring a 21st century standard of learning


Highlights of Georgia’s Plan:
   •   Returning to In Person Learning in 2021: Georgia will return to fully in-person instruction for
       the 2021-2022 school year.

   •   Safely Reopening Schools and Sustaining Safe Operations: In partnership with the Georgia
       Department of Public Health (DPH), the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) provided
       timely and accurate prevention and mitigation practices to school districts. At the beginning of
       the 2020-2021 school year, GaDOE established a K-12 Public Health Liaison to coordinate public
       health efforts with school districts, DPH, and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency
       (GEMA). GaDOE’s Public Health Liaison consults with state health officials on a weekly basis.

   •   Understanding the Impact of the Pandemic: GaDOE provided and encouraged school districts
       to continue formative assessments to identify learning gaps over the last year, and school districts
       will use this data to target resources and support. In addition, the Georgia Student Health Survey
       will collect information on non-academic barriers to learning, including lack of housing or
       transportation, to provide a better understanding of the impact of COVID-19.

   •   Addressing the Academic Impact of Lost Instructional Time: GaDOE’s evidence-based
       interventions will include deploying the state’s Continuous Improvement Teams, designed to
       support schools by increasing bandwidth, infrastructure, and equipment for students and
       educators, creating and curating standards-aligned instructional resources and courses, and
       provide responsive and relevant professional learning.

   •   Investing in Summer Learning and Expanded Afterschool Programs: GaDOE will use ARP
       ESSER funds this summer to provide evidence-based summer learning and enrichment programs
       and afterschool programs for students across the state. In order to ensure that programming is
       widely available and of a high caliber that will promote recovery and future academic and
       development success, the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network (GSAN) will administer the
       Building Opportunities in Out-of-School Time (BOOST) Grants. The BOOST program will offer
       three-year grants, renewed annually to community-based organizations that operate
       comprehensive out-of-school time (OST) programming over the summer months, after school
       during the academic year, or year-round, with the goal of providing evidence-based programming
       focusing on academic and non-academic barriers for students most impacted by the COVID-19
       pandemic. GaDOE will grant $45 million to organizations with statewide reach and impact that
    operate year-round programming and would serve at least 2,000 youth annually across at least 15
    counties, and $40 million to 100-120 community driven organizations operating afterschool and
    summer learning programs.

•   When Georgia’s LEA Use of Funds Plans were due: July 9, 2021
