For Our Schools and Students – The Hard Work Has Only Just Begun

Earlier this year, we set forth a series of recommendations on the best use of federal funds to address the needs of our schools and students during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. We have been delighted to see many of those recommendations come to fruition, including the governor’s direct grants to families for tutoring and his and the state Department of Education’s investment in internet connectivity for students, as well as the state’s equitable use of funds to support schools of all types: district, charter and private.
