The recent federal American Rescue Plan (ARP), passed into law by Congress, provides an unprecedented investment in education, giving schools and districts access to funds to address the needs of students more holistically. In this edWeb podcast, we share actionable recommendations from the Center for Learner Equity’s recent resource, The Rising Tide that Lifts All Boats: Investing Stimulus Dollars with an Equity Focus, and discuss several specific strategies that districts, schools, and educators should consider to optimize the positive impact of ARP stimulus dollars on students, especially those with disabilities. 

Listen to this edWeb podcast to better understand:

• The requirements and limitations for the various ways that funding is earmarked
• The timeline for obligation of fund use
• The importance of blending established and emerging research and a dose of creative thinking to optimize spending
• How spending with an equity focus can be transformative for all students 
• Ways to prioritize the suggestions in the companion document to fit the needs of your student body

This edWeb podcast is of interest to teachers, school and district special education or student services coordinators or directors, and school and district leaders of all grade levels.
