The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) is hosting three in-person meetings for annual Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) report training.

The deadline for submission of the fiscal year 2023 annual reporting survey for ESSER funds is Jan. 12, 2024. Completion of this report is mandatory to ensure districts continue to receive federal funds without interruption.

The Qualtrics link to the survey was sent via the ESSER listserv. If you did not receive it, need it again, have any issues with the survey, need a PDF of your 2022 submission or have general questions for the survey or the reporting, please email the ESSER staff at esser@ksde.org. 

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.
