As of September 30, 2024, all federal COVID-19 Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Funds expired.
Previous reports on this webpage provided updates on the projects that were supported with ESSER funding, including the Maryland LEADs grant, a grant initiative designed to support PGCPS in accelerating student learning to narrow achievement gaps, provide more targeted support for underserved students, and address the short and long-term challenges related to current labor shortages in education.
In an effort to be transparent with the community about the spending of ESSER funds, an annual report was posted every fall during the ESSER funding period which started October 2021 and carried through to September 2024. The October 2024 ESSER report is available on this website. It includes work that was completed during the 2024-2025 school year.
Prince George’s County Public Schools is currently completing reports and closing out all of the ESSER funded projects by following the guidelines from the Maryland State Department of Education. Any additional updates will be posted in January 2026.
