Earmarked Funding for Pandemic Learning Loss

In September 2021, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli issued a report titled “Disruption to Special Education Services: Closing the Gap on Learning Loss from Covid-19”, found here: https://www.osc.state.ny.us/files/reports/pdf/special-education-report.pdf . In his report, Comptroller DiNapoli urges districts to consider approaches for prioritizing spending State and federal aid on special education programs and related services.

One of New York State’s top priorities for Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding is mitigating learning loss and closing performance gaps for students most impacted by the Covid-19 shutdown.
