Summary of MOEquity Requirements and Calculations for LEAs
Piscatelli, Jennifer; Brown, Amanda
Region 5 Comprehensive Center
The federal American Rescue Plan Act's (ARP) ESSER III aid requirements include a new maintenance of equity (MOEquity) provision for state educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs). MOEquity provisions ensure, "if funding reductions are needed," that state and local per-pupil funding is not disproportionately reduced in the highest-poverty districts and in high-poverty schools, and that LEAs do not disproportionately reduce the number of staff in high-poverty schools. SEAs and LEAs receiving ESSER III funds must comply with these requirements through the 2022-23 school year. This summary report focuses on the MOEquity's LEA provisions. The following topics are presented: (1) Exceptions from MOEquity Requirements; (2) Identifying the LEA's High-Poverty Schools; and (3) Determining if the LEA Maintained Equity for High-Poverty Schools.
