Subsequently, this focus area has become one of the main areas where our spending of ARP XXXXX funds is outlined. From updating our Tier I core resources to align to PA Core Standards to adding math and ELA screeners and programs, creating a robust system of support for ALL learners is at the core of our XXXXX spending plan. Community members at the Spring 2021 Survey confirmed this approach by sharing feedback related to the need to accelerate learning for all students. In addition, our community members across the district (parents, social service providers, and business partners) have consistently provided input to district administration and school board members regarding the social-emotional needs of our students and families. This input is reflected in the development a strategic approach to enhancing our SEL resources across the district. ARP XXXXX funds will be utilized to purchase a core SEL curriculum, various screeners and assessments, and support the Student Assistance Program at the district and school levels. Finally, the district administration will analyze input and feedback from the online survey in order to finalize the priorities for spending within the full XXX-XXXXX plan. Through small group feedback and survey responses, ACSD has structured the input from stakeholders in a way that will help determine our highest areas of focus when implementing XXX-XXXXX planning.
