ESSER III Prepayment

ESSER III Liquidation Period Extension Letter from U.S. Department of Education

On May 13, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education published a letter to the AASA, The School Superintendents Association that clarified the period of performance deadline for the ESSER III funding and noted the potential for approval of late liquidation and liquidation extension requests for up to 18 months after September 30, 2024. School Business wanted to share the letter from the U.S. Department of Education. However, at this time, we do not have any information as to the process for requesting these extensions or any other guidance to share on this matter. As we get closer to the expiration date for the ESSER III funds in September 2024, we will be sure to provide further information to interested PSUs.

ESSER II Voluntary Reversion Request Process - ALL PSUs

PSUs were notified by the Office of Learning and Recovery in early June of a request for any voluntary reversions of ESSER II funding. That request is time sensitive and was centered primarily on those funds that would need to be redistributed in July to be used for the specific purpose of summer instructional activities.  However, the form and process may be used for any of the ESSER II Programs that a PSU feels they cannot use effectively for the purpose directed and/or by September 30, 2023, when the grants end. 

Click below for the form and process instructions:

The funding related to the summer programs is time sensitive if we hope to get the funds redistributed for effective use in July. The deadline for this initial request is JUNE 20, 2023. We welcome any other reversions as may be warranted and will continue to accept those thru August 18th. With your help we can ensure these funds are used effectively for the benefit of the students of North Carolina. Thank you for your consideration. The forms can be returned to, and questions directed to, Kristie Weber at Kristie.Weber@dpi.nc.gov.
