        Publication Year:  2022  

        %%tb-image-alt-text%%

        The report features the results of a multi-series survey focused on how district leaders are using ARP funds. The survey found that districts’ spending remained consistent from the 2021-22 to 2022-23, focused on improving instructional practices, expanding learning opportunities and learning time, hiring staff, and addressing the social-emotional needs of students. Additionally, district leaders indicated that they are using ARP funding for long-term system changes that will prioritize a shift in expanding whole child supports, including social, emotional, mental, and physical health and development of their students.

            Re-envisioning Public Education for a Just, Free, and Prosperous America

            Today’s students are experiencing a crisis of belonging and a crisis of opportunity. One-third of 15-year-olds report not feeling like they belong in their school, while stress, anxiety, and depression among students is already at record levels and rising. We need a rich vision for public education that meets this moment and offers all young people an opportunity to experience a sense of belonging and prepares them to participate fully in American society, civic life, and work.
