Governors' Top Education Priorities in 2022 State of the State Addresses
Francies, Cassidy; Perez, Zeke, Jr.
Education Commission of the States
Governors' State of the State Addresses signal policy priorities for the coming year and allow state policymakers to get a sense of trending issues in their state and other states of interest. This year to date, 44 governors have delivered their address, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education reverberated across many of them. Governors discussed reopening schools and the importance of in-person learning; they also mentioned the implications of federal pandemic relief funds and the policy challenges ahead across the P-20 spectrum (from early learning through workforce development). This year, as we have done every year since 2005, we summarized all of the education-related mentions and proposals in governors' addresses, and we identified six top trends: (1) K-12 funding; (2) Workforce development and CTE; (3) Teacher staffing; (4) Physical and mental health; (5) Postsecondary affordability; and (6) Learning recovery and success.
