Elmira CitySchool District

Family, School, Community:Together We Succeed

Listening to Community Needs

Planning to use these funds has begun in collaboration with District students, staff, families, and community members. To gather feedback and input, the ECSD created multiple opportunities for all stakeholders to engage with District staff and share their ideas and needs. Careful consideration of community priorities are being taken into account as the District creates a plan to move forward.

As a result of these engagement efforts, the District received hundreds of suggestions from students, families, staff, and community members on prioritizing the use of ARP funding. In analyzing the feedback offered by District stakeholders, it was exciting to find that community priorities mirror the priorities of the District.
