THE SECRETARY OF EDUCATION
WASHINGTON, DC 20202
July 7, 2022
The Honorable Stephanie Siddens
Ohio Department of Education
25 S. Front Street
Columbus, OH 43215
Dear Commissioner Siddens:
In the letter approving Ohio’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency
Relief (ARP ESSER) State plan, dated July 15, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education (Department)
placed conditions on Ohio’s ARP ESSER grant. Specifically, the conditions required that Ohio 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 22, 2022, Ohio 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 condition from Ohio’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 Ohio. If you have any questions, please contact your program officer at: Ohio.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
