Featured Report

As schools continue to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, there are many lessons learned from the last 18 months to consider. The $125 billion allocated through the American Rescue Plan is an opportunity for state leaders to support districts and schools in meeting students’ academic, social, and emotional needs during these unprecedented times — and to reimagine what is possible for public schools so that we emerge from this crisis with a more equitable and just education system and society.

All4Ed, alongside 11 other organizations, developed Equity Lessons Learned from Schools in the Time of COVID-19 to support state leaders in transforming their systems to better serve our most underserved students and to ensure that resources are used to drive significant change in the education system.
