In March 2020 one hundred and twenty-two billion in federal funding delivered through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act was intended to mitigate the harm caused by school closures during the pandemic and ensure the appropriate re-opening of schools across America to get students "back on track." Since July 2021, AASA, The School Superintendent's Association, has surveyed district superintendents across the United States about American Rescue Plan funding. Through four distinct surveys, superintendents were asked to share their plans to spend ARP funding for the upcoming school year. Beginning with July of 2021 followed by a mid-year update in January 2022 and then an annual update in July 2022 and July 2023, AASA focused on capturing the progression of ARP spending throughout the obligation period. In AASA's final survey of American Rescue Plan district leaders were asked to answer the question most on policymakers and researchers' minds: How did they actually spend this funding? Over 600 superintendents from 46 states completed the survey, which ran from June 29 to July 30, 2024.
