@Dale_Chu Absolutely correct, @Dale_Chu! Such disappointing and intellectually dishonest rhetoric from him and so many others.

There’s a lot to admire about Mark Kelly’s public service. But he’s wrong here. This isn’t a voucher program—it’s a tax credit scholarship. And it doesn’t have to be framed as zero-sum.
Senator Mark Kelly@SenMarkKelly

Every kid deserves a fair shot, no matter their zip code or how much money their family makes. Trump’s school voucher program puts that at risk by taking money out of public schools and giving to private ones. That’s not right, so I introduced a bill to repeal it.

1/5 Today, @COSucceeds filed a statewide ballot initiative to create a voter-approved investment in short-term, in-demand credentials—building real pathways to economic mobility and a reliable pipeline of #homegrowntalent for Colorado employers.

Good schools don’t erase disadvantage, but they give kids a measurable boost in earnings, mobility, and life outcomes. That’s why school quality matters.

States owe the public an honest accounting of how well schools are serving kids. That means keeping annual tests, no matter what happens in Washington. @ScottFMarion makes the case in @The74.

@arotherham Great piece. I’ve got problems with the business of higher ed nowadays. Yes, I do promote multiple pathways. But I do it on the basis of accessibility, value proposition, and goals—a personal, not automatic decision. It’s one way, but not the only way to success and fulfillment.

Even among people sympathetic to IES reform/restructuring you're hard pressed to find anyone defending the way the personnel cuts there are happening b/c of impact on core functions, NAEP, IPEDS, etc... Trump people privately conceding they've created a mess. 🧵 Links in reply:

Let's have a @arneduncan v. @BetsyDeVos conversation about mend or end @usedgov. I'm camp mend to be transparent, but volunteer to moderate.
Frederick M. Hess@rickhess99

Brutally honest take from former U.S. SecEd @BetsyDeVos as to what the U.S. Department of Education actually does: “It shuffles money around; adds unnecessary requirements and political agendas via its grants; and then passes the buck when it comes time to assess if any of that adds value. “Here’s how it works: Congress appropriates funding for education . . . The department’s bureaucrats take in those billions, add strings and red tape, peel off a percentage to pay for themselves, and then send it down to state education agencies. Many of them do a version of the same and then send it to our schools. The schools must then pay first for administrators to manage all the requirements that have been added along the way. After all that, the money makes it to the classroom to help a student learn—maybe. “In other words, the Department of Education is functionally a middleman. And like most middlemen, it doesn’t add value. It merely adds cost and complexity.” Yup. It’s a point I’ve made before— but few can make it more pointedly than someone who helmed 400 Maryland for 4 yrs.

Consistent with previous CSI recommendations, the Governor said in his 2025 State of the State address that he will work to adjust the system of how we fund students based on actual enrollment instead of relying on outdated enrollment averages.

The great @Dyrnwyn with new principles to reinvigorate charter schools. My favorite lines: 1. "charters may be the most 'open to all' of public schools given their lack of aptitude testing for entrance like magnet schools and their prohibition against using attendance zones, a proxy for real estate wealth, to determine entrance like most traditional public schools." 2. "...the power to charter is also one that allows, quite simply, for the creation of different things for different people with different purposes..." 3. "...no school is for every child, and no school of choice ever will be. This is the point. The matching of a family’s values, a child’s interests and aspirations, and a school’s mission and staff–without needing the right address or income to gain entrance–is a special thing under the umbrella of what we call 'public education.'" 4. "To believe in charters is also to believe in funding them. And just as dollars follow children when they move between district-run schools–impacting their budgets and decisions–they move into and out of charter schools the same way. To support charter schools is to support this interaction, not be wary or ashamed of it." charterfolk.org/charterfolk-co…

@arotherham And while we’re reclaiming words—let’s grab back the word “woke.” Formerly such a beautiful, powerful, intelligent, and culturally-specific expression with deep and righteous meaning…before the horrible hijacking.
