Recently-Elected Govs' Position Statements and P-20

While looking through the newly-elected and re-elected governors' position statements, two things become clear: (1) Many of the governors are interested in areas that are important to a P-20 system, including teaching quality, transitions from high school to college, STEM and student data systems. (2) Relatively few governors' position statements make clear that they are thinking systematically--how these areas cut across the education silos.

Hopefully once the new governors are sworn in, they will commit to education plans that ensure that these issues are seen as related to all areas, early learning through postsecondary.
