CSBA is conducting an intensive analysis of how school districts and county offices of education are spending COVID relief funds. While there have been concerns in the media about local educational agencies not spending COVID relief funds, the expenditure reports and responses from a CSBA survey of superintendents present a clear rebuke of that assessment. CSBA is releasing the results of its research in a three-part series of reports.
