"The Observer found that, of 30 K-12 schools where partnerships have ended, 18 concluded their time under private control with failing state accountability ratings."

"In addition, The Observer found that 24 schools, including two preschools, did not meet their contractual academic goals in at least one of the last two years of their agreements."

I couldn’t find data confirming the 1 million arrests. However, google’s AI generated assist did confirm the 1 million arrests, claiming Wikipedia & Arizona state university at its source. And, from the following Education Week Article, 70,000 students arrests just in the 2013-2014 school year, and these only included a small sampling of schools.

After Columbine over 10,000 school police officers were hired just in case a school shooting happened. Two decades later, they haven't stopped a *single* school shooting. Instead they've arrested over 1 million kids, mostly students of color, for routine behavior violations. Posted by Sabocat Teacher

A skeptical Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson asked whether #religious groups should be entitled to start #CharterSchools even though #Oklahoma charter #law seeks to establish only #secular #schools.

“As I see it, [St. Isidore] is not being denied a benefit that everyone else gets,” Jackson said. “It’s being denied a benefit that no one else gets, which is the ability to establish a religious #PublicSchool.”

#Trump repeatedly called for the elimination of the #Education Department during his presidential campaign. On Wednesday he called it a "con job" & said he wants it closed. [says a guy who never went to a #PublicSchool ever]

About 100 probationary employees received termination letters on Wednesday at the #GSA, according to two people familiar with the firings.

NH #HB283 being heard in committee on Monday

Look at all the classes they want to remove from New Hampshire Public schools “adequate education” list.

Just look at everything they have crossed off that they don’t want to be taught at public school anymore.

Please oppose this. It’s in the house education and policy administration committee on Monday the 10th.

HB 283 text. I can’t copy and paste this and have it displayed for you adequately because I can’t get it to strike through the text that they are trying to strike. They basically want to remove a whole bunch of different courses from public school that were mandated to be added to the public school curriculum back in 2008 or 2009. It’s stuff like Civic, art, music, some health classes, there’s a whole bunch. It’s awful.

For #newmexico, block grants instead of #title1, #title2, and #title3 funding would cripple our state’s ability to #educate #students with the highest needs - indeed any New Mexican child. Rich states get richer, #poor states get poorer. If #schoolchoice really was about what’s best for kids, why is there never talk of negotiating #privateschool #tuition down from being at least 3x the per capita allocation of #publicschool? edweek.org/policy-politics/a-b

The motivation for the Christian Nationalists can be cruelty and control, but sometimes it’s just for $$$.

Keep an eye out for the rebranding of abstinence only sex ed. Apparently NH has not taken funding from those who provide funding for this grift. But they could, and I don’t know what the other states are doing.

“But even without federal funding in New Hampshire, business is still booming for Joneen Mackenzie. Today, her SRA education program is in 47 states, including New Hampshire. “

Paragraphs from the link: Donahue no longer runs WAIT trainings, although she still teaches abstinence education on her own. WAIT training has a new name, "REAL Essentials," and it is run by the Center for Relationship Education (CRE). Like many organizations, CRE does not call its training abstinence education, but has rebranded under a new term: Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA). "The sexual health component in our work is so tiny, and in fact, in some schools, we even take it out because they don't even want to teach sexual health," said Joneen Mackenzie, president of CRE. "They don't want the controversy."
From the link: While Mackenzie says that REAL Essentials is not abstinence education, critics argue that this approach is really just abstinence education in disguise. Not talking about sex or witholding information from teens, some argue, is not education, but an absence of education. Mackenzie disagrees, and calls the binary between comprehensive sex ed and abstinence "unfair." "The soundbite that you can quote me on is: we cannot normalize teen sex... it's not healthy for them. Forget that it's not moral or immoral... that's not an issue. From a nursing perspective, from a public health perspective, if they're involved in teen sex, they're also involved in high risk behaviors.” says Mackenzie

"The Impact of a Boston Desegregation Busing Program on Student Outcomes"

"The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) program in Boston is a voluntary program for urban students and suburban school districts, that busses non-White students from Boston to wealthier, Whiter suburbs.

"Elizabeth Setren examines how participation in the METCO program affected students over the period 1991 through 2020.

"METCO students attend schools where a much higher percentage of the students plan to go to a four-year college than in the Boston public school system..

"Boston students who are bused to suburban school districts through the METCO school desegregation program have stronger academic and labor market outcomes than similar students who apply to be bussed but are not selected..

"At age 35, on average, students who were selected to participate in the METCO program make $16,250 more than those who applied to the program but were not selected from the waitlist."
