Scroll Down KYW: A Podcast about Philadelphia   /     The billion dollar deadline: clock ticking on education funding

Description

The federal government doled out a lot of money during the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant amount of that money went to schools across the country in the form of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds. Tens of billions of dollars from these funds have been spent, but there are still billions unspent with a deadline approaching by which to utilize the funds. Lindsay Dworkin is Senior Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs for NWEA, a K-12 assessment and research organization. She looks at how this money has been spent and how much of an impact it has had. Hosted by KYW Newsradio's Matt Leon.
