K-12 Public School Employee Views on Finances, Employment Outlook & Safety Concerns

Due to COVID-19

Please join us on Tuesday, September 28, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. ET for a review of a new report, 2021 Updated Survey Findings: K-12 Public School Employee Views on Finances, Employment Outlook and Safety Concerns Due to COVID-19.

This report is from MissionSquare Research Institute(formerly the Center for State and Local Government Excellence at ICMA-RC).

It finds that as schools begin to open across the nation amid growing concerns about the COVID-19 Delta variant, the K-12 workforce is more stressed, burnt out and anxious compared to other state and local employees. More than one-third (37%) of the K-12 workforce says that the pandemic has them considering a job change.

K-12 employees are concerned about the impact of the pandemic on students — from falling behind in their education to experiencing problems with access to the internet and technology. This segment of the workforce also is feeling the financial pain of the pandemic more acutely than other state and local workers.
