Dear reader,
As this unsettled school year comes to a close, an issue that predates the pandemic remains stubbornly unsolvable: the staggering disparities in how much parent groups raise for their children’s schools. Can a gap that arises from uneven state and federal funding possibly be narrowed? This week, Hechinger staff writer Neal Morton takes us deep inside ([link removed]) two Seattle communities that are trying. How is it working?
Like much in education, it’s complicated. We also take a look at how the nation’s child care industry ([link removed]) is faring a year into the pandemic, and at a fascinating new effort by teachers who are researching and measuring ([link removed]) how their students learned this year. Reply to this email to share your stories with our newsroom. We love hearing from readers.
Liz Willen, Editor
