There is something special about seeing a work in press. Thank you to Elizabeth DeBray and Denisa Gandara for all the work you put into this. It was a joy to work with you and think through federal educational policy research. @aeraedresearch.bsky.social @edebray.bsky.social

NAGB just voted (reluctantly) to kill several NAEP exams over the next 10 yrs. Cuts: 1) No Long-Term Trend NAEP at all until 2033. 2) No 4th grade science in 2028 and no 12th grade science in 2032. 3) Writing scrapped altogether. 4) No 12th grade history in 2030 (1/3)

I’m writing my first book!

“The Long Division: How the Politics of Education Became Partisan” is now officially under contract with Oxford University Press

I’m excited for this opportunity—although I’ve discovered that it can be a grim satisfaction when your research becomes relevant

Let me try to be more measured about the Supreme Court taking this case: I see no upshot if you value public education.

All the usual caveats apply, e.g. Court could rule on different grounds, avoid issue.

Otherwise, my thoughts...

My students are writing papers about the Oklahoma case and I needed to brush up. Good summary of Green & Ecke’s ingenious law rev piece.

Forbes picked up the law review article that Suzanne Eckes and I wrote about religious charter schools.

A Solution To Charter School Religious First Amendment Problems

Charter school court cases of the past (and at least one of the future) turn on the wonky term "state actor."

Great pc in the Atlanta Journal Constitution by @stephenjowens.bsky.social. The GA school funding formula needs some serious reform, starting with the fact that—unlike 97% of GA school leaders—it doesn't recognize that kids in poverty face specific challenges in school. www.ajc.com/education/ge...

Legislature ‘24: Rethink education funding so all kids get equitable shot

The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute's education director urges the 2024 General Assembly to spend more to educate kids in poverty and help school bus programs.
