Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Funds

Coppell ISD's Plans for Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Coppell ISD pivoted to a virtual learning model. Through our Board of Trustees and district forethought, CISD was already equipped with 1:1 devices for each student. We were able to mobilize and distribute the devices quickly. In addition, we provided Wi-Fi access through hotspots to families in need. We also developed a comprehensive plan to mitigate learning loss, and focused on prioritizing the social-emotional health of all our families.

Over a year later, Coppell ISD is committed to a successful transition back to in-person learning. We will work to achieve our goal of ensuring every student receives a rigorous and enriching educational experience that prepares them for success in college, career, and life. While the past year has provided challenges, we remain focused on pursuing personalized and equitable learning models that provide access to the tools and resources needed for all methods of learning. 

The dollars allocated through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund are critical to getting our teachers and students back on track and ready for the upcoming school year and whatever lies ahead.

Coppell ISD has been allocated approximately $6.6M in ARP ESSER funds for the grant period beginning March 20, 2020 through September 30, 2024. We have a comprehensive, working plan to holistically tackle our needs. Our plan is informed by feedback, research, and a commitment to ensuring every student in Coppell ISD is prepared for success.
