ERN is a national nonprofit think tank, advocating for bold, new ideas that can transform the American public education system from K-16 to better serve all students, especially low-income students and students of color. We develop new ideas to fix public education and better serve all students focused on our five policy priorities:

1) Resource Equity – so that funding goes to the students and schools that need it most.

2) Teacher Quality and Preparation – so that teachers have the knowledge, skills, and support they need to help all students succeed.

3) Accountability – so that we know what is and isn’t working, can channel resources to struggling schools and prepare all students for college and career.

4) Public School Choice – so that all families can choose the public school that best meets their child’s needs.

5) Higher Ed Quality and Affordability – so that everyone has a chance at more opportunities and a better life.

Congratulations to Helena Buonanno Foulkes on her Rhode Island gubernatorial primary victory. 🎉

Helena has made clear that Rhode Island’s public education system should respond to what students need, from strong district and charter schools to career and technical pathways.

Her proposal for a major investment in career and technical education would give more students pathways to good jobs and successful futures.

On to November.

✅ Supported the expansion of high-quality public charter schools.
✅ Created the city’s Eat, Play, Learn Initiative to expand out-of-school enrichment.
✅ Launched a nationally recognized African American Ambassador Group to bring Black leaders into the center of policymaking.

Under the , states are required to make data available on assessments and grad rate data. also requires that this data is provided to the public “in an easily accessible and user-friendly manner.”

So why are states intentionally reporting inaccessible data? ERN Policy Analyst Rianna Saslow and VP Charles Barone dive into states to expose the lack of accountability & transparency.

This we're giving thanks to educators who tirelessly work day in and out to serve students, the leaders pushing for national change, and all the advocates committed to creating a high-quality public ed system for students.

Without you, we couldn't do the work we do for all students. 💙
