The U.S. Department of Education wants to find out the coronavirus pandemic's impact on how states and schools use federal aid and flexibility from certain mandates. In a notice scheduled to be published in the Federal Register, the department said it was seeking approval for a new data collection about those issues through the Institute for Education Sciences. "The coronavirus pandemic significantly disrupted K-12 educational operations and learning in spring 2020 and is likely to do so again during the 2020-2021 school year," the scheduled notice states.
