Ready Colorado’s Brenda Dickhoner is quoted in response to school cancellations to allow teachers to attend a political rally.

“A new report from the Collaborative for Student Success aims to refocus attention on the “honesty gap” in the wake of the latest (and disastrous) NAEP results. This longstanding issue is no longer just a policy concern—it’s a glaring failure of accountability.”

“One example is Colorado: in addition to enacting skills-based hiring, the state also created an apprenticeship program to train up workers without college degrees for state government jobs.”

“The NAEP results make clear the failure of American schools to rebound from Covid. And despite the infusion of over $180 billion in federal money to rescue American schools since the pandemic, there is no evidence of a turnaround.”

“It strikes me that this captures much of the past decade-plus in education. In that time, a whole swath of intellectuals, advocates, and funders concluded that things like orderly classrooms, academic rigor, outcome accountability, gifted education, and even numeracy were overrated.”

“Parents want the opportunity to find the right educational path for their kids. Policymakers must break down barriers that stand in their way.”

Republicans are poised to net another seat on the Colorado State Board of Education after last week’s election. State elections returns on Monday show Republicans are leading the three contested races, including in the highly competitive Congressional District 8.
