AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OF 2021: ANALYSIS OF FUNDING FOR EDUCATION, CHILDREN, AND FAMILIES Jennifer O'Neal Schiess The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) includes $123 billion to K-12 education through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) and $39 billion for higher education through the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF).

Despite variation in local context, in many places, ARPA will represent a windfall of funding for education. This brief provides a look at the K-12 and higher education-related provisions of ARPA, as well as an overview of other ARPA provisions related to families and children, including childcare, food, housing, and income supports.Read more
