Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are private savings accounts funded by a deposit from the state government and managed by a parent. The deposit amount varies from state to state and is typically based on the state's per-pupil amount. To use an ESA, parents withdraw their child from the public school system and use ESA funds to purchase specified educational services, like tutoring, online courses or private school tuition. This document is part of the &quot;50-State Comparison: Private School Choice&quot; that provides information on state private school choice policies specific to vouchers, education savings accounts, and scholarship tax credits. The document presents data on all of the data points on ESAs for all states.

Educating for Civic Reasoning and Discourse

The aim of the &quot;National Academy of Education (NAEd) Educating for Civic Reasoning and Discourse&quot; report is to better prepare students to examine and discuss complex civic, political, and social issues by ensuring that the curricula, pedagogy, and learning environments that they experience are informed by the best available evidence and practice. This includes identifying opportunities to learn from well-established areas of interdisciplinary research on human learning and development, as well as current exemplars of instruction. Under the direction of an expert steering committee of researchers and other leaders in civic learning and student engagement, working panels each examined a specific theme, including: (1) philosophical foundations and moral reasoning; (2) learning sciences and human development (covering cognition and its relationship to identity, development across the life course, and implicit bias); (3) history of education for democratic citizenship; (4) agency and resilience in the face of challenge as civic action: lessons learned from across ethnic communities; (5) ecological contexts; (6) learning environment, school climate, and other supports for civic engagement; (7) digital literacy and the health of democratic practice; (8) pedagogical practices and how teachers learn. The report concludes with an extensive set of recommendations for practice, policy, and further research, which were carefully developed by the steering committee and reflect a synthesis of the chapters in this report. These recommendations were also developed with insights from key stakeholders and educators who participated in public forums and provided invited comments. [For the executive summary, see ED611952.]

This is the executive summary for the report, &quot;Educating for Civic Reasoning and Discourse.&quot; This report aims to better prepare students to examine and discuss complex civic, political, and social issues by ensuring that the curriculum, pedagogy, and learning environments that they experience are informed by the best available evidence and practice. This effort includes identifying opportunities to learn from well-established areas of interdisciplinary research on human learning and development, as well as current exemplars of instruction. At the same time, this report also recognizes that practice and research as they currently exist in more traditional forms of civic and democracy education are underdeveloped. To inform best practices, education researchers and practitioners need to draw insights from a broader disciplinary knowledge base to better understand how abilities in civic reasoning and discourse develop and what pedagogical practices are appropriate and suitable based on student needs.

Demystifying School Funding: Where It Comes From, How It&apos;s Spent and What We Can Do to Improve. inBRIEF. Issue 2, Fall 2011

School funding has become an increasingly volatile issue in Florida and nationwide over the past year. In 2011, the state of Florida cut $1.4 billion from public education as part of an effort to balance the budget during an economic downturn without increasing tax revenues. In Duval County, that translated to a $91 million shortfall and several months of painful decisions in which everything from teacher pay to student transportation to arts and athletics were at risk of being eliminated or significantly reduced. As the Legislature prepares to reconvene in January, the Office of Economic and Demographic Research estimates that the state could be facing another $1-2 billion shortfall in tax revenues that would lead to another round of drastic reductions in state education funding. This issue will take a closer look at the process of school funding and attempt to demystify the details of where the money comes from, what it is spent on, and who should be held responsible for the changes needed to make the system work best for everyone.
COVID-19 Considerations for Reopening Schools: Workplace Health and Safety

Returning to school during a global pandemic brings a new level of anxiety for everyone involved. Even though most children are very resilient to COVID-19, many parents/guardians have valid concerns that the student could carry the virus home to vulnerable family members or others living in the home. The decision to return to school is dependent on the capability of the district to maintain a safe and healthy environment. The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has developed this guidance document as a companion piece to the Kentucky Department for Public Health's &quot;Guidance on Safety Expectations and Best Practices for Kentucky Schools (K-12).&quot; It is intended to be a guide for local school districts when developing and adapting their return-to-school plans. This is not a &quot;one size fits all&quot; guide and is based on best practice guidance and information from relevant state and federal agencies. This document includes considerations for workplace health and safety including: (1) health and safety team; (2) health resources and support; (3) mitigation strategies; (4) employee health and wellness; and (5) student health and wellness.

Higher education took center stage during the Democratic presidential primaries, and congressional leaders in the party are calling for universal student loan forgiveness and tuition-free public college. The incoming Biden administration will thus face pressure to radically expand subsidies for higher education. Conservatives and moderates tend to reject socializing higher education or declaring a federal student-loan jubilee, which matters because--progressive pressure notwithstanding--Biden will need to work with a Congress that is balanced politically and in which radical measures are unlikely to advance. The good news is that a number of sensible measures are capable of attracting bipartisan support and improving the circumstances of college students and aspiring college students who are truly in need of more help. These measures involve: (1) Pell Grants; (2) College loans; and (3) Nontraditional higher education.

The coronavirus has profoundly disrupted American public education and substantially harmed the learning trajectories of tens of millions of students. The incoming administration will have its hands full trying to get schools reopened and students back on track. As it does so, it may feel tempted to use this crisis to consolidate federal control or may perceive that the election has given it the mandate to make &quot;systemic&quot; changes to public schools. There will undoubtedly be many groups calling for it to do just that. For the sake of national cohesion, this paper recommends three broad policy areas where the Biden administration should tread lightly: (1) Federalism; (2) School discipline; and (3) The culture wars.
