NEW YORK SCHOOLS SPEND LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF PANDEMIC AID, REPORT FINDS
Spectrum News
Spectrum's Nick Reisman: "Schools in New York have been slow to spend federal aid sent to them in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, an analysis released by an education advocacy organization on Tuesday found. The report released by the New York Equity Coalition found school districts as of August 2022 have spent less than 10% of funding meant to boost learning after the pandemic disrupted classroom instruction. 'These are challenging times for students, teachers, and families,' said Jeff Smink, deputy director of The Education Trust–New York. ‘New York was hit especially hard by the pandemic, which makes swift and urgent investment of these relief dollars particularly crucial to creating an equitable future. The choices school leaders make at this moment will carry a long-standing impact on our students, our communities, and our state’s overall recovery.'"
