Great piece by @MrDanielBuck calling for research on #ClassicalSchools. Tomorrow, @ua_edreform graduate student @CSyftestad defends her policy dissertation on, you guessed it, classical education. Ask and ye shall receive. Seek and ye shall find.

@AlisonHeapeJohn & @jbmcgee report a 15% funding gap between traditional public and public charter schools in Arkansas (2022-23). These funding disparities are NOT explained by demographic differences or variation in learning needs of students served by each sector 📚🍎💵
