For students who are already in a precarious financial position, a single unexpected financial setback can be devastating. A sudden medical expense, rent increase or car repair can derail their path to a degree—and, once a student leaves school, getting back becomes exponentially more unlikely, no matter how much they might benefit in the long term. Emergency aid can help those facing homelessness, hunger and other basic needs insecurities while pursuing college. Here's how. https://hubs.ly/Q02nxDkg0

As most of us know, the deadline for most major pandemic relief funds is fast approaching. But did you know other funding resources are ending? According to an in-depth article from Education Week, "Several states—including Idaho, New York, and Rhode Island—are winding down so-called "hold harmless" policies that temporarily allowed districts to receive per-pupil funding based on larger student-body numbers from previous academic years to prevent steep drops in state aid tied to enrollment declines." For a full breakdown of the different programs impacted by the end of this critical funding, read the full article today. https://lnkd.in/eHfpbC_w #RYEfundingfacts #k12funding #federalfunding #educationfunding

Some high-poverty school districts received much more aid per student than others. At the top end of the range, students in Detroit received about $26,000 each – $1.3 billion spread among fewer than 49,000 students. One in 10 high-poverty districts received more than $10,700 for each student. An equal number of high-poverty districts received less than $3,700 per student. These surprising differences for places with similar poverty levels occurred because pandemic aid was allocated according to the same byzantine rules that govern federal Title I funding to low-income schools. Those formulas give large minimum grants to small states, and more money to states that spend more per student. Great article Jill Barshay https://lnkd.in/gizS54PX

Students, educators, and schools are still working hard to recover from the pandemic but we have a long way to go. 🛣 One big challenge for many districts around the country is a looming fiscal cliff as federal Covid relief funding runs out, while declines in student enrollment persist. We will continue to advocate for sustained increases in funding for public education, but right now, districts are facing critical and challenging operational decisions. Historically, when it comes time for hard choices, schools predominantly serving Black, Brown, and low-income students bear the brunt of those decisions. It’s one of the reasons we have to ensure that every child has access to a well-resourced, integrated school led by diverse educators. In the meantime ⏳ , it’s up to local, state, and federal leaders to prioritize equity in every decision they make. https://lnkd.in/g6k7RH2k

Education Week reporter Mark Lieberman and staff writer Lauraine Langreo share insights in this article "ESSER Isn't the Only School Funding Relief That's Disappearing Soon" Some highlights: "A large number of districts anticipated the drop in financial support they’ll soon feel, devoting temporary funds to one-time expenses that won’t need to be covered with other funds later." "Still, districts will inevitably have to make some painful cuts as these sources of temporary help wind down." "Here’s a look at funding programs set to expire in the coming months and the impact schools and students will experience as a result." - This includes Federal COVID-relief aid, hold harmless provisions, technology investments, school-adjacent programs My prediction is that the current fiscal 2023/24 some tougher decisions may be made in K-12, but the tougher decisions will come 2024/25. School systems, and the entire world, faced upward cost pressures due to inflation, so both stuff and personnel increased relatively substantially compared to prior fiscal years. And those increases will continue on in the ongoing general fund budgets. We shall see! #educationalleadership #k12education https://lnkd.in/gqqV7jJH

Schools received federal aid to keep test scores up and combat the effects of the pandemic. With that money going away, we have to consider a few things: Would better-funding schools directly impact student learning? How can we measure student learning at a federal level without test scores? Without funding, how can we as teachers be resourceful in using technology or other resources to ensure students still get a quality education? https://lnkd.in/eWPeMcYx

Many families plan on financial aid covering the cost of their college education. However, free grants and scholarships normally only cover a small portion of college costs, and many families don’t qualify for them. This is a helpful visual put together by J.P. Morgan which highlights the average amount families receive for financial aid from grants or scholarships. Only 0.3% of college students receive sufficient grants and scholarships to cover their entire college expenses. #legacycapital #leadalegacy #thewoodlands #thewoodlandstx #plan #education #educationfunding #school #planning #backtoschool

Great tips for long-term planning, especially for young families.
Parents of #collegestudents: Get excited! Your kids are home for winter break. And that's not all. http://spr.ly/6047RpLDc It's also time to take a closer look at your finances for financial aid applications for next year. How and where you save for your child’s education can be as important as how much you save. Laura Lallos shares what she did right, and what she wishes she did instead, when it came to #savingforcollege for her children.

As a Principal, I've seen firsthand the positive impact of investing in education. Using ESSER funds, we've been able to provide 1:1 devices and additional support for literacy and social emotional learning. But this shouldn't be a one-time investment. Our children deserve access to resources that society isn't providing, and schools need the funds to make that happen. It's like trying to fly an airplane without enough jet fuel - it's just not sustainable. Let's prioritize education and give schools the resources they need to do the important work we're asked to do.
