Rivendell Interstate School District is eligible for $1,088,284 through the American Rescue Plan act, Elementary Secondary School Emergency Relief fund (ARP ESSER). As part of the grant application process the LEA must submit a plan for use of ARP ESSER funds based on public input through a meaningful consultation process and provide an opportunity for the public to provide input on the development of its plan.

To gain meaningful engagement from our stakeholder’s we have developed a survey which we invite all stakeholders to complete. The survey will be open for two weeks, beginning Friday, October 8th and ending on Friday, October 22nd. Click here to access the survey.

We encourage students, parents, community members, tribes, civil rights organizations, individuals representing the interests of children with disabilities, English learners, homeless students, incarcerated students, and children in foster care, migratory students, and all underserved student populations in our community to share their input through this survey. Results will be shared publicly on our website in late October.
