The time to restore NCES is now. Congress, the administration, and the public must recognize that protecting our statistical infrastructure isn’t just a technical issue. It’s an essential investment in America’s educational future. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

The abrupt termination of most NCES staff yesterday represents a shortsighted decision that threatens the integrity of our educational data infrastructure. NCES must be restored before irreplaceable institutional knowledge and data continuity are permanently lost www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
