2021 State of our Schools National Report Released

The 2021 State of Our Schools Report (SOOS2021) and state profiles were released Wednesday, Sept. 8. This national report provides an overview of research on the impact and importance of public school facilities to education, health, the environment, communities and resiliency. It analyzes facilities spending and investment in the years from FY09 following the great recession to FY2019. SOOS2021 was conducted by the 21st Century School Fund in partnership with the National Council on School Facilities and International WELL Building Institute. NCSF members and other state facilities officials were key in providing data and input for this report. State facilities officials’ participation and input are critical in improving our nation’s school facilities for all children, staff and communities. See the report and state profiles.
