Capital Expenditure Approval

All capital expenditures using ESSER II or ESSER III funds must be approved by ODE to be considered an eligible use of funds. Please fill out and submit the following application form for each capital expenditure your district would like to use ESSER funds for.

• Capital Expenditures Approval Form - Updated 5.22.23
• ESSER Capital Expenditures Tracker

Reimbursement

• ESSER I, II & III Reimbursement Request Form - Updated 5.22.23
  

Reporting

Each year the U.S. Department of Education (USED) requires states to submit data on the expenditure of their ESSER I, II, and III funds to fulfill federal reporting requirements. As this is the first year states will be reporting on ESSER II and III, the USED has updated their data collection requirements.

ODE will use ESSER reimbursement data and other data already submitted to ODE to complete most of the federal report. However, there is some additional data that will need to be submitted by school districts, ESDs, and state-sponsored charter schools. More information can be found on the Annual Federal ESSER Data Collection webpage.
