ARPA and School Transportation, Finance

Designed to help school districts reopen safely and maintain operations during the coronavirus pandemic, federal funding, which includes the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021, has supported investment in technology that has helped schools respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Districts have counted on technology to:

• Enable remote work
• Keep operations running
• Manage student transportation
• Manage absences and substitutes
• Support contact tracing
