            #976: A new hub for smarter education policy, with Doug Harris
            On this week’s Education Gadfly Show podcast, Doug Harris, director of the National Center for Research on Education Access and Choice (REACH), joins us to discuss a new website aimed at advancing evidence-based education policy and supporting more effective decision-making in schools.  Then, on the Research Minute, Meredith Coffey examines new data from Massachusetts that reveal lasting post-pandemic shifts in school enrollment, particularly in the middle grades and in higher-income districts.

“School Enrollment Shifts Five Years After the Pandemic”
In it, BU Wheelock PhD @abbyfrancis.bsky.social and I ask:
Has the pandemic permanently changed families' schooling choices?
