2021 Session Review: Education

Going into session this year, the biggest question from students and parents was when schools would open back up for in-person instruction after most schools were still operating remotely due to COVID-19. Despite attempts from Republicans to push the subject, Democrats chose to focus on other education policy areas. Additionally, Democrats continue to fail students and families who choose (or want) to be in a charter school. No further charter schools can be established and equitable funding for charter schools was stripped from the final budget.
