The American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (“ARP ESSER”) Fund, authorized under the American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) Act of 2021, provides nearly $122 billion to States to support the Nation’s schools in safely reopening and sustaining safe operations of schools while meeting the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of students resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. It is particularly important that ARP ESSER funding will enable States and local educational agencies (“LEAs”)(School Districts), and more directly schools, to support students who have been most severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are likely to have suffered the most because of longstanding inequities in our communities and schools that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Below is the Goffstown School District’s ARP ESSER Plan submitted to the NH Department of Education. It contains the following information:
- The LEA’s (District’s) Current Status and Needs
- How the District plans on Safely Reopening Schools and Sustaining their Safe Operations
- The District’s plan in Supporting and Stabilizing the Educator Workforce
- Monitoring and Measuring the District’s Progress
