Panelists will discuss how schools can leverage their remaining ESSER III funding to purchase high-dosage tutoring for multiple years. The U.S. Department of Education has clearly stated that ESSER III funds can be utilized to pay for services aimed at combating learning loss—which continues for several years. Every district can use ESSER III funds for this purpose, along with state and local funds, including NJ High-Impact Tutoring funds for those districts that received this grant. In this webinar, NJSBA and Varsity Tutors will tell you how to do this.

Michael Geraghty, the State of New Jersey’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Director of the NJ Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) will discuss how expecting schools to defend against criminal syndicates, who are able to launch cyberattacks from anywhere in the world day or night, is unrealistic. A more cost-effective and resilient approach is to adopt a collective defense model, allowing for collaboration on detection and sharing intelligence.
