"With tight budgets coming, boards need to lean in"

Research showing that school board trustees spend little time deliberating their districts' budget in public meetings.
Major school spending decisions happening this spring as districts wrestle with tight budgets. And yet, we find that many boards aren't weighing implications of choices for student outcomes, ROI, sustainability in budget sessions. https://t.co/Ugwnd3Zzjt

Already getting wind of lots of layoffs as budgets take shape. Next 2 months will see more layoffs… most district have a date in March or April by when layoff notices must go out.
Given that ESSER is allocated proportional to Title I, most hiring is happened in Title I districts. We argue that the end of ESSER creates a risk of layoffs, particularly in those poorer districts. You'll have to read the conclusion to get estimates of the magnitudes. 4/n
