Detroit received the highest rate among big districts, at more than $25,000 per student. The district’s superintendent, Nikolai Vitti, says the funds will help address some of the needs that poverty and racial injustice have created in the city. http://apne.ws/EPH4xES pic.twitter.com/FKGt8jrUk0

One of the biggest limitations for schools is the timeline. They have 3 years to spend the latest round of funding, a window districts say is short for so much money. In many areas, that means focusing on short-term projects to avoid unsustainable costs. http://apne.ws/8FfHYZl pic.twitter.com/dtWu5aKgJC

But even with that limitation, Vitti hopes change is possible in Detroit. “We’re looking forward to show clear outcomes from this investment,” he said. Then they can make the case that funding like this “should be continued in an equitable way.”http://apne.ws/y9hKeD3
