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…

Hedger, Joseph; Potts, Abigail – National Association of State Boards of Education, 2022
Politically charged education issues roiled the 2022 races for seats on state boards of education, yet none of the boards flipped partisan control. However, majority parties expanded their representation on boards in Colorado, Kansas, and Utah so far. Of the 63 seats on the ballot for 12 state boards, 35 incumbent candidates were reelected. This…

Kylie Anglin – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2024
School districts are traditionally subject to a variety of state regulations on educational inputs. Absent regulations, policymakers fear that districts will make inappropriate decisions.

The use of technologies in schools has grown over time along with the accessibility of technology tools. Unfortunately, educators have been reluctant to incorporate technology in their lessons, as they are more knowledgeable and comfortable with traditional teaching modalities (Daniels et al., 2013; Hyun et al., 2017; Tyler-Wood et al., 2018).…

Kingsbury, Ian; Maranto, Robert; Karns, Nik – Urban Education, 2023
In response to concerns regarding school quality, state policy-makers reformed their charter school authorization processes to impose greater regulatory barriers to chartering.

Weiler, Spencer C.; Skousen, Jacob D.; Kopanke, Jason; Cornelius, Luke – Journal of School Violence, 2021

Kylie Anglin – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: What is the role of state legislatures in improving public education? Is it to provide funding and standards for student outcomes and then step aside? Or should legislatures and state education agencies also govern how districts educate students? In practice, states hold school districts accountable for academic achievement while also…

SBOE membership, authority, and impact differ significantly across the 50 states. This article reports findings from an exploratory study of three SBOEs and their role as policy actors.…
