COVID-19 Recovery & Schools

In Education Transformed, our March 2021 report, Texas Appleseed examined the extraordinarily detrimental impact of the coronavirus pandemic on young Texans — both in their communities and their schools. More than three years after the pandemic upended life across the globe, young Texans feel the burden of an unsustainable push back to normal life, and they are contending with an ongoing inadequate response from all levels of government. In each aspect of our Education Justice advocacy, we are urging policymakers to acknowledge the material impact of the pandemic and to structure relief for young Texans accordingly.
