Related Claims¶

• Subgroup analyses indicate school staff identification and referral services and informal networks both contribute to learning-mode differences in children’s SSI applications — related
• Children’s SSI applications bounced back to some extent as students returned to in-person learning — related
• Children’s SSI applications were about 15 percent lower in counties with virtual learning than in counties where all learning was in person during the 2020–21 school year — a broader claim this one bears on
