😬 I see you got it. Proportional bars would be ideal but this is much better. Excellent influence. 10/10.

I see there’s a new poll visual on TRMS. Excellent work by @dynarski.bsky.social

Awesome work and great succinct thread from EdFund’s board member @barbarabiasi.com

A handful of $30k+/year state funded schools in Alabama. Officials say they are “students the state can be proud of.” Imagine how many more students could flourish if the state takes real steps this year to fix funding for the rest. Byline:

Mississippi makes it harder than almost any state for districts to access funding for school buildings despite rigorous research that demonstrates substantial academic, community + adult benefits. This program would cost the state *nothing* but yield millions for poorer districts. Shame it died.

American corporations didn’t want to diversify, anyway After the murder of George Floyd, many companies turned to diversity initiatives that weren’t actually designed to bring change. That’s why they’re dropping them as quickly as they created them

I have a new essay out today in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Linda McMahon Abruptly Tells States Their Time to Spend COVID Relief Has Passed - and a critically important part of the story that remains unanswered. **States have been floating district costs for the Feds.** Now what? @marklieberman.bsky.social w/more context here: www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Hard to tell, but this kinda reads as if the Department will also not be reimbursing states that have already reimbursed districts for their spending (even within original legal timeline) but have not yet drawn down funds from the state. Does anyone have clarity on that?

Horrifying.

@sarahlenhoff.bsky.social and I would be very happy to talk to anyone who's interested in learning more, or who'd like to discuss some of what they've read.

This may be the point at which my Timothee Chalamet curse jumped from humorous hyperbole to a real thing. AMA.

First news alert! We've got another awesome webinar next week. Tune in to hear about new research on the academic benefits of facilities investments and policies that advocates can advance to ensure that all districts can access capital funding. RSVP here: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Unless something extra bananas happens, it looks like I'll be live on bbc world service radio around 6:20 or so eastern time talking about the US Department of Education. I will do my best not to mention the real housewives or use profanity.

People who send their kids to high schools that cost $55k a year have a lot of nerve complaining that per pupil expenditure in public schools is too high but what do I know.
