We have launched a new spending dashboard to provide the public with an easy-to-use tool showing how Illinois is investing federal pandemic relief funds. Illinois received nearly $8 billion in federal relief funds, with 90% of funds going directly to school districts, to support the academic and social-emotional recovery of students. The dashboard allows users to filter funds by each of the three rounds of ESSER and the district or entity receiving the funds to get detailed information on expenditures. See how your local district is investing their recovery funds here: https://www.isbe.net/Pages/ESSER-Funding.aspx

12/12/2022

ISBE is using federal pandemic relief funds to implement high-impact tutoring in 72 districts thanks to a partnership with Illinois Board of Higher Education and Illinois Community College Board. High-impact tutoring is a proven strategy to accelerate student learning offering one-on-one or small group instruction aligned to the material students learn during the school day. Additional districts are anticipated to launch in early 2023!

“Students have already begun rebounding from the pandemic, as we saw from students’ accelerated growth last year. The state’s high-impact tutoring initiative builds on these strong signs of recovery to provide even more support to students in the highest-need school districts,” said State Superintendent of Education Dr. Carmen I. Ayala. “The initiative also provides tutors with a valuable hands-on learning experience, exposure to the magic of the teaching profession, a stipend, and an opportunity for public service.”
