The Secretary of Education to the Honorable Katy Anthes — Colorado (June 9, 2022)
Summary
In a June 9, 2022 letter to Colorado Commissioner of Education Katy Anthes, the U.S. Department of Education removes the condition it placed on Colorado's American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) grant.

Colorado submitted an updated plan on March 28, 2022 describing interventions for the academic impact of lost instructional time, summer learning and enrichment, and comprehensive afterschool programs. The letter is from James F. Lane, Senior Advisor in the Office of the Secretary.

THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION
WASHINGTON, DC 20202
June 9, 2022
The Honorable Katy Anthes
Commissioner of Education
Colorado Department of Education
201 East Colfax Avenue, Room 500
Denver, CO 80203-1799
Dear Commissioner Anthes:
In the letter approving Colorado’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency
Relief (ARP ESSER) State plan, dated November 4, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education
(Department) placed conditions on Colorado’s ARP ESSER grant. Specifically, the conditions required
that Colorado 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 28, 2022, Colorado 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 Colorado’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 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 Colorado. If you have any questions, please contact your program officer
at: Colorado.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
