37. How should schools be spending a windfall of federal aid?
Feb 16, 2022
As in-person learning resumes and a new normal takes shape, schools across the country must decide how to best allocate $189 billion in federal COVID relief. At the same time, the $2 trillion spending bill that passed in the fall will provide federal dollars for long-underfunded initiatives including universal pre–K, broadband access, and others. What can school leaders do to ensure this windfall is spent wisely? How can we guarantee funding will get students back on track and how can parents ensure their voices are heard when it comes to education spending decisions that impact their children? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Dr. Marguerite Roza as they explore how schools and districts can make smarter financial decisions at this critical point in time.
