GSCS Office of Federal Programs

Griffin-Spalding County Schools is seeking the continual input and feedback from our families and community in regards educating our students.  Ensuring transparency regarding federal awards is important.  Your Voice is Important!  We are asking external stakeholders to provide feedback regarding the use of ESSER III Funds.
Background: In response to the economic outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Congress passed three bills that provided immediate and direct economic assistance to state and local educational agencies through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds.  These funds were provided to support areas with the greatest need, where the academic and non-academic components for school districts had the greatest impact due to COVID-19.  As additional funding was provided, the intent of the funds was to support States and local school districts’ efforts to safely reopen schools, address significant gaps in learning, and support measures of implementation that will continue to reduce the effects of COVID-19 on students and families.
Funding Award:  Griffin-Spalding County School District was awarded $32,822,260 during the 2020-2021 school year.
