As the new school year gets underway, it is important that state and local policymakers provide a range of supports for students that prioritize learning above politics. Effectively supporting students will require multiple, layered interventions, including investments in child care and early learning, K-12 schools, and institutions of higher education, enhanced by funds to help families meet their basic needs, such as nutrition, housing, healthcare, and economic stability. Families and communities can thrive if local and state-level ecosystems are built to disrupt decades of disinvestment and develop an inclusive economy and racially just democracy.  \nTo ensure students continue learning and succeeding no matter where or how schooling happens this academic year, state and local policymakers should use funds from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act to meet the economic, health, academic, and social-emotional needs of children, families, and educators. But this is just the start of what is necessary for communities to recover. Federal policymakers must also take action by continuing to make investments and pass policies that will help the United States emerge from the pandemic with stronger long-term policies in place. Passing President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, which is included in the upcoming budget reconciliation package, is one way federal policymakers can steer the country toward better, more equitable rebuilding.  \nThis report lays out a series of specific policy recommendations that would improve opportunities for education systems to disrupt inequities exacerbated by COVID- 19. Reimagining public education requires considering how community safety nets and schools should be working for children, their families, and educators, not in isolation or on a school-by-school basis but through ecosystems that target eradicating poverty and transforming long-standing systems of inequity.  \n1 Center for American Progress | Budget Reconciliation Must Support a Quality Education for All Students  \nThe Center for American Progress recommends that federal, state, and local  \ngovernments use ARP funds and funding from the budget reconciliation package to:  \n• Build a stronger child care system that is affordable, accessible, and high quality, alongside investments in Head Start and preschool programs, to serve children and families across the nation.  \n• Reimagine K-12 education to better support students and families, including support for remote learning, different forms of in-person learning, the modernization and elevation of the teaching profession, and an overhaul of crumbling school building infrastructure.  \n• Reinvest in a higher education system that works for everyone by better supporting college students from entry to completion, improving institutional quality, reducing debt, and targeting resources to advance equity.  \n• Meet families’ basic housing, nutrition and health care needs while creating long-term family economic security through quality jobs, benefits, paid family and medical leave, and other worker supports to ensure that families are able to save for t","cbCaiorZrVlBIEAv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiorZrVlBIEAv","pdf",470176,31,"English","# Introduction and summary\n## Building a stronger child care system\n## Reimagining K-12 schools to better support students and their families\n## Rebuilding a strong higher education system that works for everyone\n## Meeting families’ basic needs while creating economic security\n## Strengthening and expanding access to physical and mental health care\n## Conclusion\n# End matter\n## About the authors\n## Acknowledgments\n## Endnotes","[{\"question\":\"Which funding sources does the report recommend using to support education recovery?\",\"answer\":\"State and local policymakers are urged to use ARP Act funds, and federal policymakers should continue investments and pass policies included in the budget reconciliation package, including the Build Back Better agenda.\"},{\"question\":\"What key areas should education and support systems prioritize for students and families?\",\"answer\":\"The report recommends layered supports across child care and early learning, K-12 education modernization and infrastructure, and higher education completion and equity.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report address racial equity and community input?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for deliberate racial-equity emphasis in spending decisions and for meaningful engagement with community members so that recommendations reflect unique needs and diverse voices.\"}]","Budget Reconciliation Must Support a Quality Education for All Students | PDF",1792044245,78]
