Check this out: In EVERY SINGLE CITY that significantly expanded public charter schools over the past decade, ALL low-income kids (including those in district-run schools!) leapt toward state averages.
The other cities? Not so much.

What a day! So excited to announce I've launched three new orgs: Agency, Agency Act + Agency PAC. Our goals: work with partners to provide strategic communications, elevate parent voice and make sure every kid has access to a high-quality public education. We have Agency! This is my life’s work. Couldn’t be more thrilled. Follow @actwithagency agencyworks.org

Big thanks to @NationalParents and @radiokeri for letting us ride along as they demand a more inclusive and practical parents’ bill of rights in D.C.
Finally there’s real parent pushback on the fake culture wars. edpost.com/stories/parents-h…
coming out of my twitter grave to thank @debbieveney for this great op-ed today: usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

Pandemic or no pandemic. In-person or virtual. The scores for Black and Brown children since forever are un-acceptable. So why is it so easy for Americans to accept them? #Naep
few things get me excited enough to send a tweet these days... want to thank @NeeravKingsland for his leadership and personally giving me an amazing opportunity to work with the kickass team at City Fund... and huge congrats to my dear friend Marlon!! the74million.org/article/cit…

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

I do not undersatnd how policymakers can read this, or anything else that has been written on this topic in the last few days, and not try to help. Test to stay for child care? Where is the CDC?

Why is the messaging (for vaccinated people) different than last holiday? Because of changes in externalities.

Is Amy Coney Barrett an actual human woman? She thinks women can have babies, give them up for adoption and go on about their lives? We’re not robots, if a woman has a child it affects her the rest of her life whether she gives it up for adoption or not ARGHG($5(?$’h!&&@;;:)!

WATCH: On @ErinBurnett's @OutFrontCNN, @gabecohennews notes that in @radiokeri's conversations with thousands of parents across the country, parents' key concerns aren't about critical race theory, but about challenges that kids are facing in their schools from the pandemic.

1. Regardless of the outcome in VA today, everyone should familiarize themselves about hyper-politicization of school boards and the dark money groups behind it
This playbook will be repeated in hundreds of races across the country in 2022
Follow along if interested.

Our latest #ParentPoll found just 21% of parents say their children’s schools have asked parents to give input on how #ARPESSER funds should be used. For lower income families, only 17% say they’ve been asked for feedback.
New: Schools have not done a good job getting parent and student input on how to spend new federal money. Here's how they can do better. chalkbeat.org/2021/10/19/227…
