PreK-12 Policy and Budget Outlook 2024-2025


As the ESSER funding from the pandemic period begins to taper off, SIMBA Information's recent publication reveals that federal and state financial support for PreK-12 education remains robust in the 2024 fiscal year. The report, PreK-12 Policy and Budget Outlook 2024-2025, attributes this stability to continuous stimulus funds addressing learning deficits from pandemic shutdowns, complemented by strong local and state financial plans. Notably, 33 states are enhancing their saving funds, which is a strategic move for the forthcoming fiscal transition.

The PreK-12 Policy and Budget Outlook 2024-2025 report also sheds light on the key educational programs and curricular initiatives prioritized by federal and state authorities. The focus areas for the 2024-2025 period include ramping up investments in PreK-12 education, particularly early literacy initiatives, and augmenting funds for teacher training programs, with a newfound focus on equipping educators with AI literacy competencies. Furthermore, the report delves into overall K12 expenditure, ESSER fund allocation and usage, state funding patterns, social-emotional learning, and the influence and challenges of AI in educational settings. It also explores the science of reading and the ongoing struggle with complex societal issues within classrooms, such as gun violence, homelessness, and mental health, while also examining trends in digital connectivity, data privacy, staffing, and educators' remuneration.
