impacted many students social, emotional, and mental well-being and academic achievement, and exacerbated pre-existing racial, socioeconomic, and other educational inequities.1 The Administration is committed to taking all necessary steps to support LEAs in providing every student the opportunity to safely learn in-person full-time during the 20212022 school year.
CDC guidance makes clear that K12
schools can safely operate in-person by implementing layered prevention strategies using multiple strategies together consistently.2 Studies show that schools that consistently implemented layered prevention strategies had levels of transmission lower than or similar to the rates in the communities in which they are located.3
Science-based strategies recommended by the CDC for preventing the spread of COVID19 include promoting vaccination for staff and eligible students, universal and correct indoor masking, implementing screening testing, using contact tracing in combination with isolation and quarantine, improving ventilation, and maintaining physical distance to the maximum extent possible.
To support LEAs in adopting and implementing strategies to sustain safe in-person instruction, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ARP Act requires each LEA that receives Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief ARP ESSER funds to adopt a plan for the safe return to inperson instruction and continuity of services.4 Under the Departments interim final requirements for the ARP
ESSER funds, the LEA must describe in its plan how it will maintain the health and safety of students, educators, and other staff and the extent to which it has adopted policies on CDC safety recommendations.5
In addition, the ARP Act is clear that it is within the LEAs discretion 6 to use 1 See: https www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/
