Proud to represent @EdTrust this morning on CNN to talk about how ARP dollars should be used to address #unfinishedlearning.

Parents are weighing a “do-over” year for kids after the pandemic disrupted schooling.

But they should be cautious about retention policies, which can disproportionately affect Black and Latino students, impact self-esteem and is costly, says The Education Trust's Allison Socol.

As ESSER comes to an end, many teachers may lose their jobs - and they're more likely to be teachers of color. We saw this after the Great Recession, and we're seeing it again. But we can avoid making the same mistakes. Read more from @EdTrust: https://t.co/j1dfUUTNsR

I have 2 "pandemic babies" & saw firsthand the impact that COVID had on our youngest learners and their families.

Family engagement is a powerful tool that school leaders can use to give young children and their families a strong start: https://t.co/Pb042O9RdV

The GOP proposal actually asks ED to provide TA on using Title I for tutoring, despite proposed cuts. Tutoring (+high-quality instruction & materials and student supports) can be a game-changer for kids, but districts will needs funds to sustain it. https://t.co/39BxxYWQ4I

The House majority continues to pursue dangerous cuts to federal education programs that benefit millions of students nationwide. The House Approps Committee is set to mark up a GOP-led bill that proposes a 25% cut to Title I $. Read more from @EdTrust: https://t.co/W60ALqa6cJ

ESSER funds end in Sept, yet schools & students still feel the impact of the pandemic on learning and well-being. Districts can't fully replace ESSER $ with federal funds like Title I, but they can use those $ to support the students with the most needs. https://t.co/QOtZJ5Sni2

From @EdNCES: Nearly 1/2 of public schools have a sworn law enforcement officer and 1/4 allow kids to be expelled for the rest of the year with no more school services. How can we create more positive & inclusive school environments? Read @EdTrust’s https://t.co/JziAs8OxO3
