The results of the mid-term elections are expected to have far-reaching effects on the education reform agenda at federal, state, and local levels. A shift in the power balance in the Senate or House can influence federal legislation such as ESEA reauthorization. It can impact the level of support for the Obama Administration's education platform, including the allocation of funds for signature programs such as Race to the Top, the Innovation (i3) Fund, and Promise Neighborhoods. Moreover, the outcomes of gubernatorial elections in several battleground states are likely to set off renewed debates about such hot-button issues as pay-for-performance, the charter school cap, student test scores, and implementation of the Common Core State Standards. These potential shifts in policy – and political will – can have a profound impact on agencies, school districts, and nonprofit organizations working on the ground to improve education in their communities.
In this interactive webinar, a panel of education policy experts, including foundation practitioners, will provide a post-election briefing on the results of key races as well as likely scenarios that will play out on the federal and state levels, with special emphasis on the implications for grantmakers active in the field
