This week we update our enrollment analysis with the addition of complete enrollment figures from Vermont, district-level information for Rhode Island and the addition of grade-level detail from New Hampshire, Florida and Ohio.

Burbio's ESSER III plan dataset is now up to over 4,700 districts covering 72% of U.S. K-12 students and over $81 billion in school spending. Click here for a short video on how partners can search the database.
