US: Students didn’t return to public schools this year
CommonWealth Magazine – November 21, 2021
When the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released its enrollment figures for the 2020-2021 school year last fall, it was clear that the pandemic had a huge impact, with 37,400 fewer students than the prior year. Most policy experts and advocates assumed these children would return this fall. They haven’t. Newly released enrollment figures for the 2021-2022 school year show that enrollment remained flat this year, with 911,529 students attending public schools, an increase of just 65 students compared to last year.
