I’m proud to count @chriscandel and @rauscher_emily - quoted extensively in this cogent school finance article in @educationweek - as grantees of @wtgrantfdn. And I agree with @joshcowenMSU that the conventional wisdom on “money matters” has been transformed by recent research.
I can’t stress enough just how fringe the position that “money doesn’t matter” has become in the research community. It’s only the right-wing think tank world that tries to claim otherwise. https://t.co/hegwZb9JYt

So glad to see a consensus being created. The fact that nobody denies the basic facts anymore (that money matters) is considerable progress. Does more money help schools? Most studies say yes, according to a new summary.
chalkbeat.org
That’s the surprising conclusion of Eric Hanushek, a Stanford University economist who has spent four decades arguing that more money won’t improve schools. He still says the focus should be on...

Lot of credit to go around on this mixed-methods study about academic recovery during the 2021-22 school year, but I want to start by crediting the 12 districts that are working with us on the road to recovery project ( https://t.co/TIrxUbZEdm).

Hey there, personal update! I started a PhD program in education policy at @VanderbiltU. I'm interested in K-12 education with a focus on #schoolfinance and #schoolchoice. I already miss my school and colleagues back in Denver, but I'm delighted for this new chapter in Nashville!

Since the 1960's, state investments in education have increased by about $1000 per pupil each decade. But what are the main drivers in changing state-level investments? @chriscandel and @k_a_shores explore this in a new piece for @BrookingsEd.

State-level investments in elementary-secondary education have gradually increased since 1960, but what is driving these "change points" in education funding? 💰 @chriscandel, @k_a_shores, & Shelby McNeill unpack the nuances of school finance reform. https://t.co/fmlK7Zu3zK

Between 1997-2008, voters in Los Angeles approved a series of bonds dedicating around $20 billion in funding to the construction, expansion, and renovation of hundreds of schools. What was the impact of this massive investment in public goods? Julien Lafortune and I investigated.

Overall, we believe this paper provides a useful new framework and methodology for thinking about state finance policy, and generates multiple useful facts about school finance policy over a long time horizon. (12/12)
