In the last 50 years it has been amended exactly once, in a ratification process that took over 200…

Abigail Potts; Joseph Hedger; Naomi Porter – National Association of State Boards of Education, 2024
While U.S. voters delivered a significant change in the 2024 federal elections, they opted for steady leadership at the state level. No state board of education shifted in partisan control, and only five seats saw a shift in political party out of 27 races that were contested in the general election. This policy update looks at the results of…

In reality, there's no standard design for autonomous school policies, and school autonomy can mean a lot of different things. The policies that states have enacted vary widely in terms of their goals, the…
