Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.

I worked on a few REL projects while at RAND & the connection btwn our research and the needs of local policy makers was clear, tangible & acute, and the impact was direct This isn’t about cutting government waste, this is about finding more ways to undermine efforts to strengthen public schools

This was the result of a collab, led by the Chief Economist office at ED, between FSA’s outreach&data teams and top academic behavioral economists. New admin needs to continue to invest in these experiments like this to both improve services for student loan borrowers and save money for taxpayers.

Checking out this new report from ED's chief economist group on public service loan forgiveness.
