How Are Districts Spending Federal Relief Funds?

Wisconsin school districts have or will receive almost $2.4 billion in federal COVID-19 relief funds. They’re using this one-time money to purchase technology, directly respond to the pandemic and adapt in the long term. The Wisconsin Policy Forum recently released a report offering the first statewide snapshot of how district leaders have used these dollars. In this episode, we discuss this report with Sara Shaw, senior education and policy researcher at the forum, and Dan Rossmiller, WASB director of government relations.
