The fiscal year 2023 annual reporting survey for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds will open Nov. 1 and the deadline for submission is Jan. 12, 2024. Completion of this report is mandatory to ensure districts continue to receive federal funds without interruption.  

A link to the survey will be provided in KSDEweekly and sent via the ESSER listserv.  

Details on the ESSER funds are posted on the KSDE website under the Federal Disaster and Pandemic webpage under Annual Reporting for ESSER and will be updated as available.
