At Notre Dame School of Milwaukee (2024 Yass Prize Semifinalist), math isn’t just taught, it’s celebrated. Under Patrick Landry’s leadership, students are building a culture where math is fun, foundational, and delivering results - including 100% proficiency for middle school boys compared to 20% in Milwaukee schools. A powerful model for what’s possible. Check out their PBS feature: pbswisconsin.org/news-item/ever…

Um, @AndyBeshearKY? You “proudly vetoed” a bill offering Commonwealth families access to greater educational opportunities. Are you also proudly keeping them bound to schools where the vast majority of 8th graders can barely read and write proficiently? parentpowerindex.edreform.com/state/kentucky

Today, 47 states and DC have charter school laws, and more than 3.7 million students attend charter schools nationwide. Tens of thousands more remain on waitlists each year. But the story of charter schools is not just one of growth. It is also a story of unfinished work. Read on in this week's Forza from @JeanneAllen: forza.edreform.com/p/lets-make-it…

📰 @azedschools @RealTomHorne "A ridiculous figure of 20% fraud has been circulating concerning ESA purchases which resulted from a total misinterpretation of data that we provided to Channel 12...  It had nothing to do with fraud." ⬇️ azed.gov/communications…

An exciting moment for @PeterHolmstrom_ and Summit School when their new building rolled up on campus… “It is always a little surreal to watch something like this roll in and realize what it represents. More space. More learners. More opportunities to do school differently.”

"Scaling Florida’s Tax Credit Scholarship Program over 15 years improved public school student achievement through competition much more than we’d expect had the same amount of new funding instead been spent directly through the public school system." @parthurgraff @SchoolChoiceNow educationnext.org/school-choice-…

Janine Yass in today's @PhillyInquirer: Critics argue that school choice harms public schools. But forcing families to remain in schools that are unsafe or chronically underperforming harms children. Choice introduces accountability. When families have options, schools must improve to keep students. Competition can spark innovation, encourage responsiveness, and reward excellence. inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

A bold new chapter for @WonderHere - Redefining choice from inside traditional public schools… Last week, the Polk County School Board voted unanimously to approve a two year pilot between @PolkSchoolsNews and WonderHere at Philip O’Brien ES! For the first time, WonderHere’s hands-on, project based model will be embedded inside a traditional public elementary school in FL.
