Governors' Top Education Priorities in 2019 State of the State Addresses
Pompelia, Sarah; Macdonald, Heidi
Education Commission of the States
Change swept throughout the country with the 2018 elections, bringing 20 new governors into office. Whether returning or starting their first term, governors are taking the opportunity in their State of the State addresses to highlight achievements and outline plans for the future. Every governor who has given an address has mentioned an accomplishment or a proposal related to education. Nearly all governors have indicated the importance of education to their state's success, and the ideas they proposed underscore that sentiment. Each year, Education Commission of the States tracks, analyzes and identifies trends in education policy accomplishments and proposals featured in governors' State of the State addresses. To date, 48 governors have delivered their 2019 addresses, and these are the top six education priorities mentioned: (1) school finance; (2) workforce development; (3) teaching quality; (4) early learning; (5) postsecondary financial aid; and (6) school safety.
