CASH  \nVirginia Tech, USA  \nJODIE L. BRINKMANN  \nVirginia Tech, USA  \nABSTRACT  \nIn March of 2020, the United States (U.S.), like many other countries around the world, faced an international pandemic unlike any other in recent times. Elected government officials recommended or mandated the closing of PK-12 public schools. These decisive actions led to unprecedented challenges, but also unique opportunities for public education. The researchers conducted a threepart research study focusing on school leadership during the pandemic. This article is based on the third part of the study focusing on the perceptions of school superintendents about their leadership during the pandemic in one state in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. This qualitative study is based on the naturalistic inquiry design that affords the researcher the opportunity to study an event in real-time as it naturally unfolds (Lincoln and Guba, 1985). Interviews were conducted with Superintendents in February and March 2021. The researchers used a semi-structured interview protocol consisting of nine open ended inquiry-based questions. The purpose was to investigate how superintendents and school divisions were using “The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act”funding (U.S. Treasury, n.p.). Based on the data gathered from this study, it became abundantly clear how superintendents used their CARES funds and what that revealed about their priorities. Spending patterns revealed their unwavering support of students and staff and focused on safety and teaching and learning. Superintendents were strategic in their decision making to ensure the CARESfunding was used for the greatest common good, both individually and collectively. Many long-term projects and facilities improvements were now possible because of this infusion offunds. Superintendents used this opportunity to effect change: change in instruction, change in instructional delivery, and change in facility disrepair.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn March of 2020, the United States (U.S.), like many other countries around the world, faced an international pandemic unlike any other in recent times. U.S. federal and state government officials took definitive action to address the growing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus. Elected government officials recommended or mandated the closing of PK-12 public schools. These decisive actions led to unprecedented challenges, but also unique opportunities for public education. Educational planning during an international pandemic looks very different from the typical school district planning cycle.  \nPublic school administrators were tasked with developing comprehensive plans for educating students remotely, some with limited or no broadband Internet access and many with sparse technological resources. School leaders had limited faculty capacity to implement these ever-changing and  \nEducational Planning Summer 2021 31 Vol. 28, No. 3  \nexpansive plans. As time went on during the pandemic, administrators found ways to bring students back into the school buildings, using complex mitigation strategies to ensure the health and safety of all members of the school community. Along with these challenges came some unique opportunities for addressing long-term needs that have plagued schools for years. This article focuses on the way educational planning has morphed with access to COVID-19 funding and spending opportunities.  \nThe researchers conducted a three-part research study focusing on school leadership during the pandemic. The first part focused on leaders’initial reactions to the closing of schools in March 2020 (Cash et al., 2020). The second part focused on leadership and the reopening of schools during the pandemic September 2020 (Brinkmann et al., 2021) .
