Summary

In this episode of Statehouse Spotlights, host Ashley Mullins recaps a prolific week of legislative activity as sessions conclude in Georgia, Idaho and Mississippi. From sweeping literacy and math initiatives to new flexibility for high-performing schools and investments in teacher policy and student pathways, these states advanced a wide range of reforms aimed at strengthening student outcomes. Ashley highlights key takeaways from each session and what these wins signal about education priorities heading into the final stretch of the legislative season.  The episode also looks ahead to major education policies still moving in states approaching adjournment, including funding reforms, continued investments in literacy and numeracy and proposals designed to expand opportunity for students. With multiple states closing in on key deadlines, this quick update provides a timely snapshot of where momentum is building—and what to watch in the weeks ahead.  Remember to join the conversation on social media.    ExcelinEd in Action (@ExcelinAction) / X (twitter.com)     ExcelinEd in Action (@excelinedinaction) • Instagram      ExcelinEd in Action (@excelinedinaction) • BlueSky     ExcelinEd in Action on  Facebook   Hosted on Acast.
