A 'Thank You' from OLR

As we come to the conclusion of ESSER funding, we would like to extend our congratulations to each of you for reaching this milestone! Navigating the challenges of the past few years has been no small feat, and your dedication to accelerating learning recovery and supporting our students has been truly inspiring.

It has been an honor to work alongside you throughout this journey. Thank you for your tireless efforts and for the opportunity to collaborate with you to advance teaching and learning across this state. We look forward to seeing the continued progress and positive outcomes in your districts and schools.

In this final listserv message from our office, you will find important resources and contact information for others in the agency who can support you during the ESSER closeout period.

Hurricane Helene Support and Relief

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, as the waters recede, the impact of the destruction to our western communities is heartbreaking. For many students, educators, and school communities it is going to be weeks before they can recover and rebuild.

For those looking for a way to help, here's where you donate to help with the clean up and recovery efforts:

➡️North Carolina Disaster Fund - nc.gov/donate
➡️American Red Cross - https://go.ncdpi.gov/5dmnw
➡️United Way NC Hurricane Recovery - https://go.ncdpi.gov/befrt
➡️Salvation Army - https://go.ncdpi.gov/abuxz
