In Episode 1, we talk about the big picture with Phyllis Jordan of FutureEd, a Washington think tank that has been tracking how districts are spending the money.

A rant about the current times we are in, There is no drought (because it's the new normal), Broadband ISP's paid for 8.5M fake net neutrality comments, Why can't companies find workers (for low pay). A rant about the current times we are in - Capitalism, all "isms", the unemployed, underemployed, wealth, corporations, and shitty politicians. There is no drought (because it's the new normal) - source "Droughts come for a year, or two, or even 10 — and then end. Seasonal crops are fallowed, lawns are ripped out, car washing stops — and then life, lawns, crops and car washing all return to the way they were before. That's not what we've got. Drought does not erase the coastal fog that once was commonplace in the Bay Area, or suck all moisture from the ground even after flood winters the way it has done not just in Sonoma and Mendocino but also in Topanga, Malibu and the Santa Susana Mountains, as was the case before 2018's Woolsey fire. Droughts are deviations from the norm. What we have now is no deviation. It is the norm itself. Our climate has changed. As much water falls from the sky as before, but at different times and in different ways." Broadband ISP's paid for 8.5M fake net neutrality comments - source "The Office of the New York Attorney General said in a new report that a campaign funded by the broadband industry submitted millions of fake comments supporting the 2017 repeal of net neutrality. The proceeding generated a record-breaking number of comments — more than 22 million — and nearly 18 million were fake, the attorney general's office found. It has long been known that the tally included fake comments." Why can't companies find workers (for low pay) - source "Fueling the labor-market imbalance is the fact that many workers, particularly women, find it difficult to work outside the home. Only 60% of the 200 largest U.S. school districts were fully reopen the week of April 27, according to Georgetown University's FutureEd think tank, and many child-care centers continue to operate at reduced capacity."

As the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the country in March, Congress allocated roughly $3 billion in direct education aid to U.S. governors under the the Governor Emergency Education Relief Fund .

FutureEd Editorial Director Phyllis Jordan joins CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss the analysis and some implications for policymakers, schools and other stakeholders in the midst of a lingering national recession.
