Communities In Schools of Mid-America Statement Regarding the
Opportunities of the American Rescue Plan

Building upon the CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) and the CRRSA (Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act), the recently passed American Rescue Plan offers unparalleled opportunities for the future of education, and critically, the futures of those that education serves: our country’s young people.
 
With each of these Acts contributing to the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Education Relief (ESSER) Fund, ($13.5 billion, $54.3 billion, and $120 billion, respectively), we urge districts to focus the funds on the most pressing student needs and on populations that experience disproportionate barriers to learning and achievement, including inequality and limited income. It is more important than ever that all students have access to meaningful, data-proven, effective services that position them to learn…services that meet basic needs, ensure social-emotional learning, and deliver improvement in core areas such as academic performance, school attendance, and school behavior.
 
Communities In Schools (CIS) of Mid-America provides the services that help schools and students alike accomplish these important objectives. Serving in 21 communities in the region, CIS of Mid-America is already a trusted and vital partner in many districts. We stand ready to support districts to expand their current CIS of Mid-America services to additional schools or to initiate services in their schools. We believe ALL students, regardless of race, gender, zip code, or socioeconomic background should have what they need to realize their potential in school and beyond.
 
With unprecedented funds available, it is time for an unprecedented, bold vision that establishes a new era of school and student success.
