In just one year, ERC host organizations secured $135M in new investment, with $93M directed to rural-centered hosts—a powerful return on the program’s $30M launch. From “development deserts” to thriving communities, ERC fellows bridge capacity gaps and shape economic resilience.

After learning that the U.S. Department of Education (ED) excluded financial aid administrators on their two new negotiated rulemaking (neg reg) committees, NASFAA sent a letter to ED urging them to provide financial aid administrators a seat at the table. “Ignoring the expertise of the financial aid community not only compromises the spirit of collaboration and transparency that negotiated rulemaking is designed to foster, but it also creates a significant risk of operational failure once these regulations reach our institutions,” NASFAA President and CEO Melanie Storey wrote. “We strongly urge you to reconsider the composition of the negotiating committees and add a dedicated seat for financial aid professionals. Their expertise will be critical in foreseeing potential implementation hurdles and developing practical solutions that benefit both students and institutions.” Learn more about what was included in our letter to ED: https://ow.ly/4h9F50WyFlz

The Council’s latest report, NAEP’s Hidden Power: Understanding Achievement at the Intersections, written by Council Director of Research Akisha Osei Sarfo, Ph.D., provides intersectional analyses of NAEP, the only national assessment that allows us to examine what students know and how they perform at key intersections (e.g., SES and race/ethnicity or language and disability), revealing what works, where gaps persist, and how specific groups experience school systems. NAEP, the only national assessment that allows us to examine what students know and how they are performing at key intersections. This level of granularity powers better informed decision making for districts. NAEP should be prioritized as a central part of the nation’s education infrastructure as its ability to provide intersectional analyses of national student performance highlights critical differences often hidden in aggregate group-level data. What we can see at the intersections can be targeted and improved. Download the report at: https://lnkd.in/ezsEhVFP
