AR is being funded with ESSER funds this school year. I was just informed last week that our school can’t use our ESSER funds until January, at the earliest. Since our current AR license expires at the end of this month, I would recommend that you make alternative plans for Trimester 2 regarding AR until I can get a more definite date when ESSER funds are available.
