With early cutoffs now hitting in Florida, Virginia, Wisconsin and Mississippi, Ashley walks listeners through which key education bills are still advancing — and which proposals may be losing momentum.  This quick update highlights the policies that cleared critical early hurdles, the measures still in play and the dynamics shaping each state’s next phase of legislative action. Listeners get a clear and timely snapshot of what’s alive, what’s at risk and what to watch as these states move deeper into their sessions.  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  Facebook4     Hosted on Acast.
