Officially moving to #Seattle this weekend after 15+ months and +6K miles #OnTheRoad. Let's be friends!


I can't wait for all the headlines about the big increase of FY22 K-12 spending that completely fail to mention that the increase is primarily driven by the ESSER dollars that previous headlines fretted were unspent... census.gov/library/storie…

Every Republican and every single Democrat in the Mississippi House of Representatives just voted to pass a weighted student funding formula. Should the Senate follow, low income, ELL, and SpEd students will be meaningfully recognized in the way the state funds public schools.

House Bill 4130 has been introduced. The bill would create the “Mississippi Student Funding Formula” to provide funding mechanism for public schools. To read the bill, visit billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2024/pdf/histo…. #msleg



Our 2nd Annual Education Finance Survey is available now! Really giving new meaning to "read it and weep" to be honest but we've all got our work cut out for us in the ed finance world! allovue.com/study

Imagine having “nine figures” to invest in Baltimore and you decide the best use of your money “to help” is to buy a media outlet. Not funding business incubators, helping commercialize tech out of research institutions, or creating a foundation to support community development.

So excited abt this work from 2 board members of our soon-to-launch org. #2 in thread is key: "[the money matters debate] is not very useful for policy. So in this paper we ask: It depends on what? We focus on *what* the money is spent on and *for whom* it is spent." Worth a read

🚨🧵📜@davidfromterra, Julien Lafortune and I have a new wp! Perhaps the longest-standing debate in education is on whether money matters. Esp. in the case of capital (building /renovating school facilities), conflicting results have led scholars to conclude that “it depends.”

One of the admins in my elementary school had this thumbtacked above her desk and I think about it all the time. Don't ask me why I remember this from, at least, 23 years ago; almost too on the nose with this story.

Sweet or sour idea? NYC officials limited school bake sales back in 2010 for health reasons. Now, the ed department wants to bring them back -- to stave off budget woes. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2024/0…

Tap dancing on the grave of DEI while women and people of color are wildly overlooked and under funded in tech is not a good look tbh.

Middle school teachers are extremely strong individuals.


Kind of feels like burying the lede when 3 years ago we were missing a MILLION kids, then a quarter million— maybe something like… “95% of students have returned to school since pandemic enrollment depression”

"Since the pandemic first upended American education, an estimated 50,000 students are still missing from any kind of U.S. school." How many students are still missing from American schools? Here's what the data says | AP News apnews.com/article/school…

Thinking back to 18 months ago when I couldn't convince people to worry less about teacher shortages and to think a little more about the possibility of looming budget tightening and/or loosening labor markets.


Does anyone have a great handy-man/GC in Seattle? My tactic of using command strips to hang a light fixture when I couldn't drill into the wall only lasted for 2 days 🫠 Time to bring in a professional.
