Edunomics Lab is a Georgetown University research center exploring and modeling complex education finance decisions to inform education policy and practice.
WHAT WILL THE FINANCIAL TURMOIL MEAN FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION?
As the economy tumbles, and shortfalls are projected for state budgets, the financial outlook for public education is changing rapidly. In response to numerous inquiries on how school systems will be affected, we hosted a short interactive webinar on what the financial turmoil will mean for public education. We shared what we are learning about the financial outlook, and what states and districts might consider as they make financial plans for the coming weeks and year.
