@nepc.bsky.socialPerhaps these D govs should announce that they'll consider opting in just as soon as Treasury modifies its regs to be consistent with Sen. Scott's promise?
@nepc.bsky.socialAnyone remember FL Sen. Rick Scott promising, “[S]tates that opt in to the program can set their own requirements for scholarship-granting organizations, meaning programs can target funding scholarships for poor, working-class, and underserved communities.”? www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...
@nepc.bsky.socialWhen NC governor Josh Stein (@ncgovernor.bsky.social) said he would opt in once Treasury issues “sound guidance,” how did the Friday regulations -- denying states all flexibility -- do that? Did @governor.ny.gov & @govpritzker.illinois.gov & others see something not awful that the rest of us missed?
@nepc.bsky.socialEasy prediction 1 yr ago: "the U.S. Treasury Department ... is likely to deny states the promised flexibility" for the SGO vouchers. While [voucher advocates want D govs] to participate, they don’t want to give them the flexibility permitted by the law itself." nepc.colorado.edu/publication/...

@nepc.bsky.socialHey state legislators: Now might be the time to wake up to the one-two punch SCOTUS is ready to throw at you. Charter schools will never be the same.

@nepc.bsky.socialA new analysis finds that multilingual learners with disabilities are more likely to graduate from high school and enroll in college if they attend school with a lot of other students who have this dual classification. bit.ly/4Aw01Bf
@nepc.bsky.socialOnce the darling of policy wonks who aimed to apply free market-style approaches to public education, social impact bonds are taking up much less airtime these days. bit.ly/4AyK79p
@nepc.bsky.socialHigher ed spends more money on educating students from affluent families. Two researchers tried, but failed, to find a justifiable reason why. @jrothst.bsky.social bit.ly/4AoTcl5
