Important reminders from KSDE about ESSER

The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) has these important reminders about Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds: 

  • School districts are advised to review their ESSER II plans and ensure they match the expenditures included in the ESSER quarterly reporting. Please be sure to follow up with KSDE’s ESSER team if you have any questions or concerns regarding your district’s ESSER II plans.  
  • An approval letter is required for all districts completing capital improvement projects with ESSER funds. A few examples of capital improvement projects are touchless sinks, water bottle fillers and HVAC upgrades or replacements. The Capital Improvement and Construction Request Form can be found on KSDE’s website at the following link: https://www.ksde.org/Portals/0/ECSETS/Announcements/ESSER_Capital_Improvement_and_Construction_Request_Form.docx 
  • A completed Equipment Purchase Form is required for any equipment that is more than $5,000 per item. The Equipment Purchase Form can be found at the following link on KSDE’s website: https://www.ksde.org/Portals/0/Title/LCP/EquipmentPurchaseForm.pdf 
  • School districts that have personnel changes for the 2023-2024 school year need to email the KSDE ESSER team at esser@ksde.org to ensure the new personnel are added to future ESSER communications.
