Hoping to clarify something about my twitter account which is affiliated with AASA. I am on twitter to share reports, stories, information, perspectives that I think are valuable for superintendents to read. My re-tweets are not endorsements unless I specifically say so. Thanks.

Career pathways are hot. But if kids can’t read, they can’t build careers.

Keeping eyes on North Carolina 👀 where a veto override to opt in for the federal scholarship tax credit could be in play today (this week). The NCGA passed legislation to opt in but Governor Josh Stein said no. More to come.

{new} Do teachers make more money when they leave teaching? By and large, they do not. The best way for teachers to make more money is usually to go into administration.

A child's future shouldn't be determined by their zip code. Our school choice scholarship in President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts bill opens doors for students. We're calling on governors to opt-in and give families that opportunity.

NEW: Johnson says he hasn't "seen the specifics" of cuts to Education Dept. staff overseeing special ed programs. First reported by @USATODAY this weekend:

NEW: These are all the Education Dept. offices that staffers and managers say have been impacted by layoffs since Friday, according to the union for the agency’s employees. They include workers that supported HBCUs, tribal colleges, charter schools, civil rights reviews & more.

Excited to be with hundreds of incredible NY superintendents at #NYSuptsFall. I know you are missing your hometown AASA advocate @Noellerson but I promise to talk just as fast. Big thanks to @NYSchoolSupts for having me sub in.

I rewteet a lot of @EDSecMcMahon but this one below made me LOL as this report shows that a majority of Americans oppose closing ED and believe feds have a major role to play in education. Not exactly sure how this tweet is on message.

Two-thirds of Americans say K-12 education is on the wrong track nationwide, and I can’t say I disagree. It’s time to break up the status quo and put students at the center of education. https://t.co/TXalNUtthH

The cohort of students who scored at record-low levels in 12th grade reading were part of the same generation of kids who scored at record-high levels in 4th grade. So what happened?

Missouri's "school choice" MOScholars siphons millions from public schools through dollar‑for‑dollar tax credits. 90 %+ of "scholarships" flow to KC, STL & SGF, only 0.2 % support students with disabilities. Eligibility up to $173k for family of 4, yet rural and truly
