The Honorable Heather Bouchey
Interim Secretary of Education
Vermont Agency of Education

Montpelier, VT 05620-2501
Dear Interim Secretary Bouchey:
In the December 30, 2021, letter approving Vermont’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and
Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) State plan, the U.S. Department of
Education (Department) placed certain conditions on Vermont’s grant. Specifically, the
conditions required that Vermont amend its ARP ESSER State plan to describe, in section D, the
evidence-based interventions it will implement using the funds it reserves under section 2001(f)
of the ARP Act.
On August 14, 2023, Vermont submitted an updated ARP ESSER State plan that responded to
these conditions by describing the evidence-based interventions it will implement to address the
academic impact of lost instructional time, summer learning and enrichment programs, and
comprehensive afterschool programs, and how these interventions will address the
disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on certain groups of students. As a result, I am removing
the conditions from Vermont’s ARP ESSER grant. This letter, as well as the updated plan, will
be posted on the Department’s State plans website, here.
Thank you for your efforts to implement the ARP ESSER program and address the academic and
mental health needs of students, educators, and staff during the pandemic. If you have any
questions, please contact your program officer at Vermont.OESE@ed.gov.
Sincerely,
Adam Schott
