As the Governing Board Chair of @CACradle2Career, I’m grateful to @GavinNewsom for initiating a Master Plan for Career Education. The EO calls for building upon C2C “to develop and deploy tools that empower all Californians—from high school to retirement.” careereducation.gov.ca.gov/

This is a great opportunity to help advance California’s efforts to build a world-class data system. Our @CACradle2Career Governing Board understands the importance of technical expertise and community engagement in our collective work.
The applications for the Data & Tools Advisory Board and the Community Engagement Advisory Boards are now available on the Cradle-to-Career website. Applications are due by March 21, 2022. Please help us spread the word! c2c.ca.gov/data-system-leade…

Below are the headline education items for the budget proposed by @GavinNewsom, but this “overarching goal” is also worth highlighting:
“…70 percent postsecondary degree and certificate attainment among working-aged Californians by 2030…”

Granted, many of these departing superintendents had previously postponed their retirements, but 25% is still substantial. Combined with destabilized boards and other resignations, they unsettle schools at a time when stability is ever so crucial. hechingerreport.org/who-want…

This is an underutilized idea that school systems should explore more extensively. If compensation is paired with parent education, then the program not only addresses immediate needs, but also builds capacity for parent leaders over the long haul. forbes.com/sites/margueriter…
Districts are facing overwhelming challenges.
One thing the highest poverty districts do have: money.
Here's an idea: High-poverty districts can direct a share of relief dollars to families for tasks they take on to help kids get up to speed.

“You can give us all the funding (in Covid assistance), but we just don’t have the bodies.” That’s Brooks Allen of the California State Board of Education, capturing the sentiment from school districts. It’s within the context of independent study, but has broader application.

Illinois becomes the latest state to provide mental health days for students. The bill says that a student may be referred to appropriate school staff after the 2nd day. Districts should plan how to deploy such referrals as part of their broader social-emotional support systems.

Per @EdDataCampaign, 90% of parents said it would be valuable to have information on how high schools prepare students for college and careers. Yet only 34% indicated that they knew where to find such information. Schools should consider addressing this gap to meet family needs.
Parents and principals agree that they need new data to support students as they navigate post-high school transitions amid #COVID19 and recovery. See more: bit.ly/DQC2021Poll
As noted below, about 40% of districts anticipate fiscal challenges when COVID relief funds expire. Of these districts, 80% have already begun to revise their spending plans to avert a potential crisis.
Such proactive measures are essential to navigate difficult times.
For America's K–12 schools, pandemic budget and staffing crises have not panned out — yet.
But new survey findings indicate systemic problems that could outlast #COVID19. bit.ly/2WovQND

Thread: Fascinating research on the Connecticut Technical High School System. Besides the benefits noted by @educationgadfly, CTHSS participation is associated with higher earnings, though mainly on male students (there’s “little evidence” of an effect on female students). 1/
Connecticut's locally-administered career schools are all integrated into a single statewide system. It's boosted high school graduation rates and college completion for male students—but had no such effect for their female peers—finds a recent study. gadf.ly/3gw17We
