Great read from Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University on the future of purchasing and how federal funding spurred vendor growth as school spending surged. With the pending expiration of #ESSER schools will need to reset the pace of spending and with staffing costs a significant slice of the budget, hiring may tighten and correlate to tighter vendor spending. The consideration of price and value are two key components to improve #schoolprocurement #k12 #schoolbudgets
Optimism is high that ed vendors can help our schools. But with only a small slice of public ed funding to spend on procurement, how will the end of ESSER and tightening budgets impact district purchasing? We discuss this in today's #edfinance newsletter. https://lnkd.in/gmamXDXw
