The COVID-19 slide: What summer learning loss can tell us about the potential impact of school closures on student academic achievement

The Coronavirus Pandemic and K-12 Education Funding
In this report, using data from multiple sources, we describe the effects of previous recessions, particularly the Great Recession, on K-12 education finance, as well as the federal, state, and local policies and trends that mediated—for better or worse—the impact of these downturns on public school budgets. We then use these lessons to offer recommendations for short- and long-term responses to our current crisis.
