HISD launches ESSER funds transparency dashboard
Dear HISD Community,
A core commitment of our strategic plan is building trust and reliability for our families and community. I believe that being fully transparent with how the district is spending public dollars is a big step toward that goal.
With that in mind, we have launched the ESSER transparency dashboard that allows you to see how the district is spending its Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds.
In total, the district received $1.16 billion from the federal government, which must be used by September 30, 2024.
To date, HISD has allocated $607 million and spent or encumbered $319 million. The money is being used to address the near and long-term impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the district and our students.
Student Volunteers needed to welcome the Class of 2026 at the May 21 DeBakey HSHP Open House.
Sign up is located in the HUB!
Volunteers needed for the following sessions:
7:45AM - 12PM
12:45PM - 5PM
