Federal COVID Relief Funds for K-12 Education by State

Find out about the ARP ESSER funding coming to your state—and how much XQ recommends should be dedicated to high schools.

XQ is calling on every state and district in the country to invest in high school transformation.

COVID-19 has impacted students at all grade levels. But COVID-19 has particularly impacted high school students, and they have less time than their younger peers to get where they need to go before leaving the K-12 public education system. There is an opportunity—indeed, a necessity—to mobilize around the future of high school students because their future as members of our workforce and our society begins in only a few short years. High schools require special attention given the urgency and time pressure high school students face. 

Transforming a century-old high school system can’t be done with half measures. That’s why XQ is calling on every state and district in the country to spend a share of their federal COVID relief dollars at least proportionate to their high school population on long-term high school transformation. 

What should high school investment look like in your state?
