States decide almost every substantive education issue that matters. The one exception involves anti-discrimination. Federal gov has led on that since 1964. In closing multiple civil rights offices, Trump just largely returned that issue to states. npr.org/2025/03/11/nx-s1-532…

With enough advocacy and political will, together, we can create a system that boasts a high-quality education for all students — regardless of race, identity, or economic background — and promotes student excellence. edtru.st/EduReimagined #EduReimagined

Assessment data drives resources into schools! Turns out, parents like that...A lot! Let's bridge the communication gap. Spread the word. forstudent.org/3KYLd5D @StudentSuccess @Dale_Chu @MunyanPenney @Ariel_Smith_CO

These are the realities that those who pretend to embrace “colorblindness” are willfully ignoring and seeking to cement.

“Over 50% of our nation's leaders come from elite institutions. If we're not getting Latinos into these institutions, how are we going to have leaders that are also representative of our demographics?” - @EdTrust’s Sandra Perez shares w/ @DiverseIssues ctt.ec/kac2U+

ESSER2 closed and many districts/charters will send $ back to US treasury. Most are tiny $$s but not all. Over $2K/kid in one. Some simply missed deadlines to spend/obligate it.
7 months left on ESSER3. SEAs need to badger LEAs on large unspent balances.

Great new article on school choices by white parents in DC. "Even when White parents claim to value diversity, they make choices that increase school racial segregation. We argue these trends are inherent byproducts of a choice system." 🎯🎯🎯 journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

Quite a surprise this morning: @jfreewright, award-winning actor and SYEP alum, makes a virtual appearance at the 2024 launch of the D.C. summer youth employment program.
He's speaking about his summer job experience and how it has stayed with him.
