Leveraging Federal Funds to Strengthen and Support the Educator Workforce
In this session, staff from Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) will review how grantees can leverage federal funds to attract, prepare, and retain an effective and diverse workforce by sequencing, blending, and braiding IDEA funds, as well as funds made available through the CARES, CRRSA and ARP Acts. OESE and OSEP staff will demonstrate how states and local education agencies can use these funds to strengthen existing programs and develop new programs to support our educators of today and tomorrow.
