Data shows that the pandemic has had a significant impact on student learning, both across the country and in Valley View ISD.

The American Rescue Plan signed into law in March 2021 by President Joe Biden included $122 billion in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds for school districts across the country, which is the single largest investment in federal elementary and secondary education in the nation’s history. Valley View ISD applied to receive some of that additional funding.
