CANTON ISD SAFE RETURN TO IN PERSON INSTRUCTION & CONTINUING OF SERVICES PLAN

Canton ISD is continuing to monitor COVID-19 as a district and has developed a Safe Return to In-Person Instruction & Continuing of Service Plan.
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) signed into law in March 2021 by President Joe Biden included $122 billion in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds for school districts across the country. Canton ISD was awarded these funds.
The purpose of ESSER, in general, is to award subgrants to local educational agencies (LEAs) such as Canton ISD to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools.
