Well-being Support  \nExecutive Summary  \nThe Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, signed into law on March 27, provides flexible funding for states  \nto respond to the COVID-19 emergency in K-12 schools. CARES Act funds allow state and district funds to be spent on resources such as technology tools, professional development for educators, sanitation of buildings, and broadband access for students and teachers. Overall, these funds provide an opportunity for state educational agencies (SEAs), eligible local educational agencies (LEAs), and schools to develop digital learning plans and processes to support remote learning for emergency situations as well as long term digital learning opportunities. With planning, policies and practices, state leaders can demonstrate to districts and schools a commitment to quality digital learning opportunities which also support the personalized needs of all learners. SETDA has developed this document to provide a resource for state leaders regarding considerations for expenditures.  \n CARES Act Considerations Page 1  \nCARES Act Funding Overview  \n Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund $13.5 billion: This grant is distributed to states based on their share of ESEA Title I-A funds. State education agencies will then distribute at least 90% of funds to school districts and public charter schools based on their share of Title I-A funds.  \n Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund $3 Billion: The grants permit Governors to provide additional assistance to the educational entities that are most significantly impacted by the emergency.  \n Rethinking K-12 Education Models (REM) grant program $180 million: These grants provides support to help States leverage the power of entrepreneurship to create new educational opportunities and pathways that help citizens return to work, small businesses recover, and new entrepreneurs thrive.  \nA more comprehensive overview of the CARES Act support for education is available via the eLearning Coalition’s Funding Page.  \nBackground and Definitions  \nSETDA, the principal membership association representing U.S. state and territorial digital learning leaders for the last 19 years, is best suited to provide this guidance, intended to assist state and local leaders in ensuring continuity of learning through the effective use of technology. This work is framed through the eLearning Coalition, launched in March 2020, to provide the opportunity to spark innovation around eLearning related to the COVID-19 virus, inevitable inclement weather and other disruptive events.  \nBeyond COVID-19  \nIn addition to preparation for any future disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and to support continued instruction during inclement weather or eLearning Days during teacher professional development days, schools and districts need to continue to support the development of high-quality digital learning opportunities for all students both on and off-campus. The thoughtful integration of technology provides students personalized pathways to engage in content and creative ways to demonstrate evidence of their learning. With mobile devices, collaborative digital tools, interactive virtual reality, and access to primary resources, today’s students can experience learning that  \n CARES Act Considerations Page 2  \ntruly meets their individual needs and interests and schools can provide equitable instruction for all learners.
