NEW PAPER: We study the effects of immigration policy on student attendance in 2025. Students born outside the U.S. were 2.2pp more likely to be absent after Jan 2025 (a 37% increase).
That's ~2 extra missed days per semester.

In 2022, Missouri changed its school funding formula to equalize revenues between charter and traditional public schools
In a new report at Fordham, Collin Hitt, David Griffith, & I document the fiscal effects
The impact was far greater than lawmakers expected

The journals are giving Refine what’s essentially a monopoly. And, as economists, we should know better.
I think an open and free version of a similar AI tool, perhaps owned by the associations, would be a better path forward.

Everyone's talking about teacher turnover after a webinar + article this week. Is it too high? What happened with COVID?
Matt Barnum collects state-level average teacher turnover rates from 21 states and finds that turnover remains elevated compared to pre-COVID:

A ‘lost generation’ of teachers left the classroom. Schools are still dealing with the consequences.
Veteran teachers left, principals cycled through too, and high-poverty schools likely faced the greatest strain. Here’s what years of churn did to classrooms.

As is often the case, pretty similar in a lot of ways. And I wonder how much of the differences (such as they are) in the quits patterns have their origins in teachers being insulated from the huge spike in non-quit separations during the pandemic.

Always interesting to compare teaching to the economy-wide rates (quit and total separation rates, in this case).

Are immigration enforcement policies causing short-term attendance disruptions only, or long-term disengagement from school as well?

Most measurement arguments reduce to two people using the same scores for different purposes. @mpolikoff.bsky.social's great review reveals the real tensions in "grade inflation" debates.
Closing the "honesty gap" requires clearer communication about our hoped-for uses of grades and test scores.

One of the main takeaways from this iteration of the District Dollars report? School districts in California have recently seen big increases in funding and historically high funding levels, due to growth across federal, state, and local funding.

I used to keep a list of ed policy papers that followed this pattern of presenting a clearly endogenous relationship, throwing in some "controls," and then arguing the relationship was causal due to some "theory" or that the correlation was "interesting."
But it was too much to keep up with.
But it was too much to keep up with.
While these may sound like technical points, they are actually bread and butter issues for observational causal studies.
Yes, many studies get them wrong. But that is no excuse. We must demand higher standards from observational studies, particular those that get reported in the news!
