We have had a variety of good resources that encountered our desks because groups look to provide information in real time about the proposed policy changes-incubating financing cuts and wear and tear that use that average and several of them provide state or local analysis.

• From Protect public educationA coalition of advocates for public education, teachers, beneficiaries of federal educational financing and former employees at the US Department of Education, comes a rich set of resources. Federal educational dollars pay teachers, buy books, reduce class sizes and help to ensure that our schools serve our children’s needs. Eliminating federal educational financing will not improve our schools – it will demolish them. It will leave States encryption, children suffering, teachers without work and communities with fewer opportunities to succeed. We have to strike back to protect public education, because when our schools fail, the whole country pays the price.

  • University of Michigan Federal Education Funding Data Dashboard: Federal Education Funding Data Dashboard Shows the allocation of federal educational funds to local school districts in each state and the US congressional district for the academic year 2020-21, which was the latest information available when the data analysis was performed. Totals are based on the sum of the federal dollars awarded school districts and do not include dollars awarded each state’s Ministry of Education. The instrument panel also shows the total number of public schools and students in each state or congressional district, plus how many of these students live in poverty and how many were identified as experiencing homelessness.
