With billions of dollars in one-time state and federal investments in education, California’s education leaders are working to invest strategically in staff, plan for sustainability and transformational change, and ensure that funds are allocated and spent equitably.
These efforts are aimed at accelerating equitable learning opportunities and, in particular, ensuring students who have faced the highest barriers to learning during the pandemic receive additional support.
However, decisions about how to invest this one-time funding are complicated by COVID and other challenges. To support California’s education leaders, the California Department of Education (CDE) partnered with WestEd to offer an interactive, three-part series of virtual learning sessions focused on how to strategically use the one time-funds in combination with ongoing resources to strengthen supports.
