Hard to fully articulate her impact on improving policy for children and families in our state. All I can seem to find is that she’s one of the good guys and will be greatly missed. Enjoy your next chapter ⁦@RepTerriCollins⁩ #alpolitics yellowhammernews.com/state-r…

Photos from the @ACT Summit coming soon - our own @jsiddiqi7 and @jclantz spoke today alongside @GovTate and @RepTerriCollins!

Enjoyed moderating today’s #ACTSummit conversation with legislative education leaders, including Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellow Rep. Terri Collins, on how states are preparing students for life after high school—through career pathways, credentials, and real options. Also appreciated hearing from Gov. Tate Reeves—another Hunt-Kean alum—on Mississippi’s push to expand opportunity. His words stuck with me: "My core belief is that all our people can learn and all our people can be successful." A good reminder of what this work is really about. @tatereeves @RepTerriCollins @jclantz @Hunt_Institute

BIG DAY at American Board! We're now approved to certify Alabama teachers. Quickly and Affordably. Thanks to @sdubose1 and @RepTerriCollins for their support on this issue! americanboard.org/blog/ameri… #AlabamaTeacher #SecondCareer #ABCTE

“Alabama was one of only two states, along with Louisiana, to surpass pre-pandemic NAEP scores in reading. Effective implementation of the Alabama Literacy Act is also adding up for students.” 👏🏼 ⁦@aplusala⁩ #alpolitics aldailynews.com/mark-dixon-c…

“We can either sit on the bench or be part of a greater mission to battle every day to make things better for America’s children.” Loving that @SecJennerIN is kicking off #EIE24 alongside @JebBush. Nobody brings the energy like Katie! Thankful for Governor Bush’s leadership.

It’s been an incredible couple of days with our #HKFellows here in San Diego. We’d like to thank all our funders who made this event possible, the Fellows, their staff, our resource experts, and, of course, Gov. Hunt and Gov. Kean for their leadership and inspiration for this bipartisan convening. Until next time, San Diego!
