State of Connecticut ESSER and GEER MOE Waiver Request, May 10, 2022

Summary

A letter dated May 10, 2022 from Jeffrey R. Beckham, Secretary of the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management, to Amy B. Huber of State and Grantee Relations at the U.S. Department of Education. It transmits a joint waiver request from the Office of Policy and Management and the Department of Education from maintenance of effort provisions tied to ESSER and GEER funds, covering the fiscal year 2020 higher education requirement under the CARES Act and the fiscal year 2022 and 2023 requirements for elementary and secondary education and higher education. The letter says the State's inability to meet the requirement is not the result of a lack of increasing support for education but of the parameters of the required formula.

RE: State of Connecticut - ESSER and GEER MOE Waiver Request

Dear Ms. Huber,

The State of Connecticut Office of Policy and Management and Department of Education
jointly submit the attached waiver request from the following maintenance of effort (MOE)
provisions associated with the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds
(ESSER) and the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER):

    FY 2020 MOE requirement for higher education under section 18008 of the CARES Act;
    FY 2022 and FY 2023 MOE requirements for elementary and secondary education; and
    FY 2022 and FY 2023 MOE requirements for higher education under section 317(a) of
     the CRRSA ACT and section 2004(a) of the ARP Act.

As demonstrated in the state’s accompanying request, the state has continued to make consistent
investments in K-12 and higher education; the inability to meet the MOE requirement is not the
result of a lack of increasing support for education, but rather due to the unique parameters of
the required MOE formula under the CRRSA and ARP Acts. The state therefore respectfully
submits this request for a waiver.


Thank you for your consideration of our request.
