A new report released by the Network for Public Education evaluates each state's commitment to democratically governed schools. The report measures the level of privatization in each state and assesses whether charter and voucher laws promote equity, responsibility, transparency, and accountability.
States are ranked based on factors such as voucher and charter expansion, protections, financial support for public schools, and safeguards for homeschooled students. The report aims to highlight policies that prioritize public solutions and protect the interests of students, parents, teachers, and taxpayers.
