AASA, The School Superintendents Association, surveyed hundreds of district leaders across the U.S. in July about their plans to utilize American Rescue Plan (ARP) and other federal COVID-19 relief funding to address the pandemic-related student learning recovery. In 2020 and 2021, Congress directed close to $200 billion to state and local education agencies to help reopen schools and aid school districts in addressing the impact the pandemic had on students through improvements to their academic, social-emotional, and mental and physical health needs. AASA believes this funding will have a lasting impact in enabling students to not only recover from lost in-person instruction, but in assisting district leaders in thoughtfully investing federal funds in ways that address longstanding disparities in accessing educational opportunities for students that were only exacerbated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this survey was to ascertain: (1) District leaders' immediate priorities in expending federal pandemic relief; (2) Systemic improvements districts plan to make throughout the next 3 years to improve education outcomes and close equity gaps with this funding; and (3) The use of federal funding for school facilities' upgrades/projects.
