- MNPS is not using ESSER funds for private tutoring, that is being funded by Music Makes Us.
- Artists-in-Residence provide much needed instructional support to improve academic outcomes and student engagement in visual and performing arts classrooms.
- Elementary Design funding will assist the district in moving to the K-5 / 6-8 model that parents have been wanting for many years and studies show improves academic and SEL outcomes for students.
- Tennessee is a reimbursement state, meaning that we must first spend local operating funds before we draw down a reimbursement from the state. This requires significant documentation and reporting, and there is a lag between when funds are encumbered, spent, or reimbursed. The deadline for ESSER 3 spending is July of 2024.
