The American Rescue Plan (ARP)
provides funding for implementing comprehensive, evidence-based
programs to ensure resources respond to students' academic, social,
and emotional needs and address the disproportionate impact of
COVID-19 on student populations. Using resources provided by the
ARP, States, districts, and their partners have the opportunity to
use out-of-school time (OST) to address the disproportionate impact
of COVID-19 on students, families, and their communities.
Out-of-school time programs, which occur before or after the
regular school day or outside of the regular school year, can
include a wide range of activities, including comprehensive
afterschool or summer-learning and enrichment programs, vacation
academies, work-based learning programs, youth development
programs, and experiential or service-learning programs. On July
14th, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education, along with the
Afterschool Alliance, AASA – the School Superintendents
Association, the National Comprehensive Center at Westat, the
National League of Cities and the National Summer Learning
Association, launched the Engage Every Student Initiative designed
to ensure that every student who wants a spot in a high-quality
out-of-school time program has one. In the Fall of 2023, the U.S.
Department of Education and the five partnering organizations
designed the Engage Every Student Recognition Program, which aims
to recognize (1) non-profit organizations working in collaboration
with school district/local education agencies (LEAs) or (2)
municipalities or local government entities working in
collaboration with school district/local education agencies (LEAs)
that engage K-12 students in high-quality afterschool or summer
learning programming, with high-quality being defined as meeting
students’ social, emotional, mental, and physical health, and
academic needs and addressing the impact of COVID-19 on students’
opportunity to learn.
