It’s the start of a new school year, which can bring greater attention to the funding needs of school districts and community-based organizations, especially as American Rescue Plan resources near their end. Engaging new strategic partnerships to support sustainable funding is essential. For example, through our collaboration with Boston Public Schools, the city updated the funding formulas necessary to ensure that its Universal Pre-K program keeps pace with changing operational costs.
State and local governments and school districts can support their child-centered goals by accessing previously untapped federal funding sources. Then, by collaborating to secure future dedicated funding they can expand opportunities for children and youth in coming school years. As we approach the November elections, we’ll update you about various ballot initiatives and other efforts to raise funding for children occurring across the nation.
