Whether students in Wisconsin have access to career and technical education courses largely depends on if their school district pays for them, and that's because the state is one of just five that doesn't dedicate funding to these programs in public schools.

Students in some Portland-area districts get five weeks more time in class every year than others who live only a few miles away but are enrolled in different school systems, according to a new analysis.

Several North Texas districts are launching new virtual and hybrid high school programs after a state law expanded funding for online learning. Leaders hope the options will help attract and retain students as enrollment shifts.

When leaders prioritize understanding how students learn, not just how they perform, identification becomes a lever for stronger outcomes across the entire system.
