The Education Exchange: The End is Nigh for ESSER Funds. What Comes Next?

With no guidance from above and uneven planning from within, school districts must reckon with an imminent fiscal cliff in September

Marguerite Roza, a research professor at Georgetown University and director of the Edunomics Lab, joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss how school districts have spent their federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds, and what impact that has had on student achievement.

“The Massive ESSER Experiment: Here’s what we’re learning,” co-written with Katherine Silberstein, first appeared on Education Next.org in April 2023.

Note: At 9:48 of the podcast, Evanston School District is incorrectly identified as Elgin School District.
