UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
OFFICE OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
June 23,2023
The Honorable Charlene Russell-Tucker
Commissioner of Education
Connecticut State Department of Education
450 Columbus Boulevard
Hartford, CT 06103
Dear Commissioner Russell-Tucker:
In the August 27, 2021, letter approving Connecticut’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 Connecticut’s grant. Specifically, the
conditions required that Connecticut amend its ARP ESSER State plan to describe, in section D,
the evidence-based interventions it will implement using the funds it reserved under section
2001(f) of the ARP Act.
On June 15, 2023, Connecticut 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 Connecticut’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 to implement the ARP ESSER program and to address the academic
and mental health needs of students, educators, and staff. If you have any questions, please
contact your program officer at: Connecticut.OESE@ed.gov.
Sincerely,
James F. Lane, Ed. D
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary
Delegated the Authority to Perform the
