Funds on the Run: How Education Investments Get Lost in Implementation

amplifiED

In this episode of the amplifiED podcast, we dive deep into the life of education legislation after it passes. Join hosts Margaret Sullivan and Josh Crosson, along with EdAllies' policy director Matt Shaver, as they explore the journey from legislative triumphs to the often-frustrating reality of implementation.

We’ll discuss how well-intentioned investments in education can fall short, the challenges of ensuring that resources reach the students who need them most, and why policy advocacy doesn’t end with a signature on the dotted line. From the struggles of teachers of color to the intricate dance of budget allocations, we’ll uncover the truth behind why funds can seem to vanish before they ever make it to the classroom.

From universal meals to Come Teach in Minnesota grants to our Underrepresented Student Teacher grants, we tackle the pressing question: How can we ensure that education investments truly benefit our students?
