🧵Let's take a look at Basis in #AZ: The data comes from the non-profit charter school organizations (via their 990 filings) and broader estimates for the larger BASIS.ed organization, which operates both non-profit and for-profit schools. @sosarizona.org #ProtectPublicEd
Florida backed off slashing AP/IB/Dual Enrollment funding—for now.
But don’t be fooled: lawmakers quietly rewrote the rules to make future cuts easier, quieter, and harder to track.
Public school parents won Round 1. Stay ready for Round 2.

Public schools are the number one contributor to child welfare in the world. They require kids to be vaccinated, feed, and uncover neglect and abuse. Public schools have saved more children’s lives than any other organization on earth. Protecting public education is pro-child. #protectpubliced

Trump’s attack on the Department of Education is an attack on every studen/ teacher & parent who relies on public schools/ Defunding education doesn’t create opportunity, it destroys it. A nation that abandons its schools abandons its future
We can’t let this happen
Trump is a evil

Signers worked alongside the Department’s career staff across five presidential administrations and have seen firsthand how crucial their service is to this nation. The work of the Department’s civil servants changes lives. #ProtectPublicEd

🚨 Urgent Action: Tell Congress to Protect Public Education! #ProtectPublicEd action.momsrising.org/sign/protect...
To support some of Gov. Ron DeSantis' most prominent and controversial K-12 education laws, Florida has agreed to spend millions of dollars on a service it says is a tool for transparency. But free expression advocates warn it could be a vehicle for censorship. In a contract signed this September, the Florida Department of Education agreed to pay up to $15.6 million over four years to Maryland-based education technology company Trinity Education Group. The company has been tapped to develop a "statewide, centralized, easily accessible" system for people to review and even object to instructional materials and library books in Florida school districts. The state has already paid more than $3 million, according to a Monday payment listed in the state's online contract database.
And some worry this tool could ramp up the already widespread targeting of materials in Florida's public schools. "With book bans running amuck in Florida, this partnership seems to open the door wider to facilitate greater suppression of library materials and classroom content," said Katie Blankenship, director of free expression group PEN America's Florida office, in a statement. "More often, these systems are meant not to serve actual parents interested in what their own children are learning but to provide a way for ideologically motivated actors, including those with no connection to the school, to comb through this data to hunt for material to which to object," she continued.
A tool of transparency or censorship? PEN America Florida's Blankenship emphasized that "parents are important partners in their kid's education." But she accuses this tool of going beyond goals of transparency. "This platform is ripe for chilling the professional expertise of educators and librarians by expanding ways for parents and citizens to intervene in curricular and library decisions in K-12 schools," Blankenship said in her statement. Stephana Ferrell, co-founder and director of research and insight for the Florida Freedom to Read Project, put it this way: "This looks like a way to create statewide book banning." "This is a tool that serves the needs of a very stark parent minority," her group said in a social media post.
Exactly. In some states, they’re dragging us in the opposite direction. Case in point, here in Florida, we are about to waste 15 million on making it easier for extremists to ban books.

Public education is the foundation of democracy—but it’s under attack. Protecting it means resisting privatization, amplifying marginalized voices, and ensuring every student learns to question, think critically, and engage civically. Our future depends on it. #ProtectPublicEd #DemocracyInEducation
