New Study: School reopenings are linked to union influence and political partisanship but not COVID-19 hospitalization rates.
"We find that pandemic severity, as measured by the county COVID-19 hospitalization rate, had no relationship with the probability of in-person reopening."
bradmarianno.faculty.unlv.edu/working-papers/
"These findings match a growing body of literature that suggests local school reopening decisions are more about interest group influence and politics instead of pandemic spread (DeAngelis, & Makridis, 2020; Grossman et al., 2020; Hartney & Finger, 2020)"
Six studies now link school reopenings to union influence:

• DeAngelis & Makridis (2020)
• Hartney & Finger (2020)
• Flanders (2020)
• Harris et al. (2021)
• Grossman et al. (2021)
• Marianno et al. (2021)

Underperforming private schools shut down

Underperforming public schools get more money.
Private schools are directly accountable to families

Red tape isn't the same thing as accountability.
And why would giving families a choice "funnel" money away from public schools?🤔

Allowing families to choose their grocery store isn't an "attack" on Safeway

Allowing families to choose their school isn't an "attack" on public schools.
And why would giving families a choice harm public schools?🤔

It sounds like someone isn't confident in the monopoly's product.
Kentucky's proposal to fund students instead of systems is also only about up to 0.2% of the K-12 education budget

Why are defenders of the status quo so terrified?🤔
