SAN DIEGO -- California schools were handed billions of dollars to help students recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has been tough to track how all 1,000 of the state's school districts have been spending the money and how well their recovery strategies have been working.
A team of researchers from UC San Diego, the Public Policy Institute of California, UC Berkeley School of Education and state Department of Education has assembled to find those answers.
The researchers announced Monday that it is one of a few teams across the country to receive a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to study school pandemic recovery.
