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 https://t.co/jv1gTVRtcQ

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. https://t.co/41qyNYJfZa

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

[Kristen Forbriger @kforbriger]

@LoriArmistead @plturnbull Thank you!! I don’t plan to leave the bedroom for several days (a lot more solo parenting for mine too!!)

[Kristen Forbriger @kforbriger]

@LoriArmistead @plturnbull Nooo I just saw this! Did you get home that night?! (Ps. I have Covid)

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

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.

[Emily Oster @ProfEmilyOster]

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!&&@;;:)!

[National Parents Union @NationalParents]

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.

@Dyrnwyn @Mr_Ankrum @citizenstewart @brightbeamntwk Ditto!!

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.
