The Georgia Department of Education published its Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) funding transparency dashboard. The dashboard shows spending under all three rounds of ESSER funding – through the CARES Act in May 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act in January 2021, and the American Rescue Plan in March 2021. The public may see the amount of ESSER funds each school district has received, the amount of submitted budgets approved, and the time remaining in the grant period.

In his annual presentation to the Chamber of Commerce (Sept 2021), Superintendent McMichael also gave a high-level overview of the CARES Funding received by the Barrow County School System. The slides from his presentation are shared below.
