Does the American Rescue Plan require funds to be reserved for learning loss?

Yes, under Sec. 2001(e)(1):  Each district “…shall reserve not less than 20 percent of such funds to address learning loss through the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school year programs…”  In In addition, under Sec. 2001(f)(1):  Each State “…shall reserve not less than 5 percent of the total amount of grant funds awarded to the State under this section to carry out, directly or through grants or contracts, activities to address learning loss by supporting the implementation of evidence-based interventions, such as summer learning or summer enrichment, extended day, comprehensive afterschool programs, or extended school year programs…”
