In March 2020, schooling for students enrolled in both public and private schools was brought to a grinding halt by the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the impact of the pandemic on the lives of these students, and to understand whether schools are prepared with adequate support systems to address their students' needs, Young Lives interviewed 183 principals (head teachers) from 116 government and 67 private schools in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in India. This policy brief analyses the survey findings and provides specific policy recommendations. It is part of a series of outputs based on the Young Lives COVID-19 survey of head teachers conducted in India and Ethiopia as part of the Gendered Young Lives: Opportunities, Learning and Positive Development research programme.

THE ABOLITION OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS BY THE 104TH CONGRESS (1995-96) CONSTITUTED ONE OF ITS EARLIEST ACHIEVEMENTS. ALTHOUGH POLITICAL DISSENSUS HAD SURROUNDED THE ROLE AND ACTIVITIES OF LSOS THROUGHOUT THEIR INSTITUTIONAL EXISTENCE, THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN THE 1994 CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS WAS THE CRITICAL FACTOR PROMPTING THEIR ABOLITION. PRIOR REFORM ATTEMPTS HAD ALTERED UPON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S POST-1954 DOMINANCE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE DIFFUSE REPRESENTATIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BENEFITS WHICH LSOS CONFERRED UPON THEIR MEMBERS. HOWEVER, WHEN, UNDER A NEW REPUBLICAN MAJORITY, THE PERCEIVED COSTS OF LSOS WERE HELD TO EXCEED THEIR BENEFITS, THE ORGANIZATIONS WERE RAPIDLY TERMINATED. THE ABOLITION OF LSOS LENDS NEW AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO SCHOLARS WHO EMPHASIZE THE CONTINUED SALIENCE OF PARTY TO CONGRESSIONAL POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES.
