Any district that receives funds through the Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief grant (ESSER III), must provide its stakeholders with the opportunities to voice their opinions about the use of those funds.  In order to comply, Pleasanton ISD took many steps to gather information and suggestions from it's stakeholders, including parents, special programs personnel, students, community members, district and campus administration, and other faculty and staff. These meetings are on-going throughout the school year to ensure the use of funds is being used most appropriately.
