What can #Florida’s experience with education choice tell us about what comes next? Gov. @JebBush recently joined @michaelbhorn on The Future of Education podcast to discuss the policy shifts shaping the conversation. Listen to the full episode now: the74million.org/article/an-… #schoolchoice

30 years ago my mom founded one of the first microschools in Florida. Gov. @JebBush fought the early, contrarian battles to unlock that education for our family and millions of others. Quite a full-circle moment to sit down and discuss the state of US K-12 together:

Florida has become one of the clearest test cases for what happens when educational choice reaches real scale. In my recent conversation with former Governor @JebBush and Ryan @Delk of @Primer schools, what stood out to me was not just how much the landscape has changed over the last quarter century, but also which questions now matter most. A few takeaways: 1️⃣ The conversation has shifted from demand to supply - For years, the central policy push was about funding following students and giving families more options. Now, in places like Florida, a big question is whether enough new schools and models can emerge to meet that demand—especially low-cost, high-quality options.

ExcelinEd's Chairman, Gov. @JebBush, joined @michaelbhorn on the Future of Education podcast this week to discuss the evolution of education choice in Florida and what it means nationwide. Watch the clip and listen to the full episode here: open.substack.com/pub/michae…

Today, we pause to remember those who lost their lives in service to their country and honor the sacrifice they made. We are grateful today and always.

ExcelinEd in the field ➡️ Earlier this month, Senior Policy Fellow Christy Hovanetz, Ph.D., presented at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Master Class, "Building Business Leadership for Data, Assessment, and Accountability." During her presentation, she shared how to build and support a rigorous, transparent accountability system. This two-day event brought together 35 state and local chamber leaders as part of USCCF's ongoing effort to educate members on the importance of assessment and accountability.

More than 200 studies point to a consistent trend: school choice programs can improve outcomes for students, families and taxpayers. In a new review of this research, @bendegrow, Senior Policy Director for Education Choice, highlights gains in graduation rates, parent satisfaction, school safety and even public school performance.
