@LuXuEdPol @NatEdFinAcad @dsknight84 Congratulations!!!

It is such an honor to have received the William and Patricia Fowler Award from @NatEdFinAcad! This prestigious grant will support my ongoing research on the educator labor market and college promise programs. I would like to thank Dr. @dsknight84 for all your unwavering support!

Here’s a list of the contracts, provided by a senior Education official. "Pretty sloppy work by DOGE – no real justifications or coherent descriptions," the official said.
