In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress enacted several programs that provided federal funds specifically to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus in elementary and secondary education, or provided funds that could be used for that purpose. These programs include the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund, Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) program, and Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY) program, as well as programs providing similar types of support to the outlying areas. Each of these programs was authorized under the Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) or provisions authorizing funds for similar purposes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All of the programs are administered by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Each program has a statutorily defined period of obligation during which grantees must obligate the funds awarded and a later date by which the obligated funds must be expended (liquidated). This report provides the amount of grant funding each state or outlying area received under each relevant program; the cumulative outlays (expenditures) by state or outlying area that were posted on USAspending.gov as of October 16, 2024; and the percentage of grant funds that have been expended. No data are provided on funds that may have been obligated by states or outlying areas but not yet expended, as data on obligations are not regularly reported. Data are also included on state requests for extensions of the liquidation period for funds discussed in this report. Preliminary state-reported data on EANS funds that reverted to governors are included as well.
