Arizona's billions of COVID-19 funds for schools were brought into question in a Goldwater Institute's report, including how some of it was used on equity positions.

In the span of a single year, Congress allocated $190 billion of federal funding into K-12 education. However, about half of the $190 billion in federal funds were classified by state education agencies as "other," according to an October 2021 report from ProPublica. Such reporting provided "no insight into how the funds were allocated."
Goldwater's analysis used Arizona as a case study to determine whether federal funds were used reasonably and for the purposes for which they were intended.
