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

"With tight budgets coming, boards need to lean in" brookings.edu/articles/schoo…
10 Mar 2025
Major school spending decisions happening this spring as districts wrestle with tight budgets.
And yet, we find that many boards aren't weighing implications of choices for student outcomes, ROI, sustainability in budget sessions.

Budget gaps? Enrollment declines? This budget season will be a doozy. Most districts have to notify staff of any layoffs in the next 6 weeks.
We’ll discuss this, the outlook for fed funds, and more at Thursday’s 30-min webinar, 1ET / 10PT.

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.

Given that ESSER is allocated proportional to Title I, most hiring is happened in Title I districts. We argue that the end of ESSER creates a risk of layoffs, particularly in those poorer districts. You'll have to read the conclusion to get estimates of the magnitudes.

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.

“We need to buckle down, roll up our sleeves & figure out how to squeeze more value out of the $s we have going forward,” @margueriteroza told @MichelleKOMO, “making sure we're targeting money where students need it most.”
