I am happy to share that I was selected for the Korean Honor Scholarship awarded by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the United States! I am truly grateful for this honor, and I will continue pursuing research on K-12 education policies that meaningfully contribute to policy and practice.

Here’s how much education funding is in Illinois’ FY27 state budget www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2026... "Nationally, CPS’ debt stands out. The school system carries more than three times the average debt per capita compared to the other largest school districts in the country"

Where public education saw funding increases (and decreases) in Illinois’ new state budget
K-12 school funding is getting $350 million more. But some educators say it’s not enough.

We know the school finance matters to the kids and the compensation matters to the teachers but we don't actually know much about how to trade off between different things in that general area. bsky.app/profile/paul...

One of the things that I find interesting in this work is that the relationship between teacher applications/slot and poverty is different for traditional public and charter schools. Here's a pic, you'll have to read the paper for more on this!

A study by Jennifer Nelson and @paul-bruno.com looked at hiring practices in Los Angeles schools. They found that despite a standardized screening system to find teachers, principals often use hiring strategies outside the system to find new candidates. More: education.illinois.edu/about/news-e...
