Funds received through GEER may be leveraged flexibly by Governor’s to address identified needs within their state, and are intended to supplement funds received by impacted institutions through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) and Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Funds. Read more in the Governor's Open for Learning Plan.
