On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plans (ARP) Act was signed into law.

This legislation will award grants to state educational agencies (SEAs) for providing local educational agencies (LEAs) with emergency relief funds to address the impact that COVID-19 has had, and continues to have, on elementary and secondary schools across the nation.

This plan describes how the Russell County School District will provide the safe return to in-person instruction and continuity of services for all schools, including those that have already returned to in-person instruction.
