Federal funds are one resource that state leaders can use to establish and/or supplement programming designed to diversify the teacher workforce. Though several federal funding streams can be used for this purpose, state and district leaders have a great opportunity to leverage COVID-relief funds to expand their diversity efforts. The primary source of these funds, the American Rescue Plan (ARP), provides a one-time federal investment of more than $122 billion that distributes support among the nation's schools to aid in the long-term recovery from COVID-19. Although at least 90% of these dollars flow directly to districts, each state has a minimum set-aside that can be used through early 2025. As a condition for receiving funds--often referred to as Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds--states were required to submit plans outlining how they will use funds for authorized purposes, including "expanding the educator pipeline and educator diversity." This report is a collection of state-level data on the use of ESSER funds to elevate promising practices for advocates and policymakers. State spending is broken down into three broad categories: (1) Supporting educator preparation programs that attract and support candidates of color; (2) Developing and/or implementing policies or programs to recruit teachers of color; and (3) Developing and/or implementing policies or programs to retain teachers of color.
