Schools Utilize Federal Education Funding for CTE Curriculum

Are you looking for a way to engage your students with career and technical education (CTE) curriculum in this challenging educational environment?  The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund, federal education funding passed as part of the CARES Act, can be used by districts for “purchasing educational technology (including hardware, software, and connectivity),” “planning and implementing activities related to summer learning and enrichment and supplemental after-school programs,” “any activity authorized by the Carl D.
