The U.S. Department of Education required each state to submit a reopening plan outlining how they were using and planned on using Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds. The Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) conducted an analysis of 37 state plans to better understand if and how schools were collecting student mental health data. In general, states are not collecting robust mental health data. All states can improve their mental health data collection strategies. However, a few states are beginning to build out their mental health data collection systems. [For the series overview, see ED617064.]
