State and local governments play a critical role in funding and delivering K-12 education in the United States, but funding can vary from district to district, creating disparities that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Hear from economists, policy experts, and practitioners about how education finance has been impacted by the pandemic, the different types of decisions local leaders must make to deliver quality education to students, and how we can try to address issues of equity and disparities going forward.
This series is open to anyone interested in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, including educators, school administrators, state and local policymakers, workforce development professionals, and community and business leaders.
