More than 97% of public school students qualify for federal tax credit scholarships. So why could the Treasury Department’s proposed regulations make participation harder?
@MargueriteRoza and Maggie Cicco of @EdunomicsLab explain:

Revising estimates way down for what FSTC means for public school kids. Per regs, income verification is a real barrier.
Want to cover a field trip fee, laptop, flute rental? Gotta show W2s, alimony, pay stubs! Just to prove you're part of the ~97% of kids who are eligible.

Today in @The74 we cover what district and state leaders must do NOW if they want fed tax credit dollars for public schools.
Unlike traditional funding formula dollars, how much flows to public schools will depend almost entirely on how actively leaders pursue it.

I expect that many districts will pull in ~ $1,000 per pupil.
Link to slides and webinar recording in reply.
Come January, there's a new source of funding for districts who want it.

Let's face it: Ed finance is messy right now.
We can help you sort it all out with a Georgetown Certificate in Ed Finance.
We're gearing up for a great cohort in Kansas City on June 10-11.

Rapidly changing financial risks for K12:
Which fed funds are legitimately at risk? Which aren’t? Which states/districts have more to lose? What other factors are worth watching?
We’ll cover in a 30-min webinar

When it comes to staffing, focus on quality over quantity.

Districts are deep into a brutal budget season. Efforts to reduce labor costs (including layoffs) are coming fast in many districts.
We covered what you need to know in a 30-min webinar, including timeline, options to cut costs.

Already getting wind of lots of layoffs as budgets take shape.
Next 2 months will see more layoffs… most district have a date in March or April by when layoff notices must go out.

Kane/reardon new analysis is out: Shows math/reading trajectory for each district in 43 states.
Here’s a suggestion: district leaders and boards might review their “district fact sheets” as part of budget process this spring.

The fiscal cliff is here. In Moving the Needle, @MargueriteRoza of @EdunomicsLab notes that what we do now–and what programs we fund–will matter.

On $ & NAEP in our newsletter
"KY, LA, MS, TN, WV saw real (even if modest) score gains alongside massive federal investments in schools. In LA & MS, 4th reading gains were enough to erase COVID learning gaps. These states show how $ can matter for kids."

Glad to have a bit in today's @FiftyCAN report on the future of ed:
Total $$s per kid from K to 12 amounts to $150,000 to over $300,000 depending on state.
"That’s a massive investment. And it should be."
And parents ought to know what the outcomes are.

"The rate at which [birth rates] have been declining may not register as a lot, but could actually be catastrophic for schools," says @EdunomicsLab's @MargueriteRoza.
Why? Fewer students = less funding for districts—all while demands on spending rise. pew.org/3DVgDcJ
