Resolution of CB Local for ESSER III Funds .pdf
Summary: WHEREAS, on April 28, 2021, TEA notified school districts of the opportunity to apply for their allocation of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) Fund, which should be used to respond to the pandemic and to address student learning loss as a result of COVID-19;

WHEREAS, TEA published guidance regarding how these funds can be used and local compliance requirements school districts must follow, including a recommendation that districts develop local board policy to address how the district will provide the required public notice regarding federal grants and awards for consistency;

WHEREAS, Texas Education Code 11.151 gives the Board of Trustees the exclusive power and duty to govern and oversee the management of the public schools of the District; and

WHEREAS, the Board finds that a need exists to adjust local policy provisions to address public notice for federal grants and awards and approval of required grant plans;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Trustees of Crowley Independent School District adopts the following text for inclusion at CB(LOCAL), State and Federal Revenue Sources:

• The District shall provide public notice of federal grant applications through an information item at a Board meeting and by publishing information on the District’s website. The District shall make available opportunities for public input as required by law or the granting agency.

• Approval of required grant and award plans shall be by the superintendent.

The change to CB(LOCAL) is effective based on the adoption date of this resolution.
