The United States and Pennsylvania economies remain deeply depressed compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic. While the unemployment rate has come back down to around 7% (7.3% in Pennsylvania, 6.9% in the U.S.), Pennsylvania had 488,000 fewer jobs in October than February and the U.S., 10 million fewer. With COVID case rates higher than ever and death rates rising again, many people worry about a "double dip" recession. Reflecting this worry, the U.S. Congress continues to debate the need for more emergency funding for American families, businesses, states, and localities. If Congress acts soon, local K-12 schools are considered the state and local government entities most likely to receive additional federal relief. This briefing paper looks at how Pennsylvania distributed the K-12 funding within earlier rounds of federal relief. The authors focus on the portion of funding from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that the federal government left up to states to allocate among school districts.
