A monthly, national look at State-by-State legislative issues, trends, and tips, empowering AESA members as education advocates.
The State Examiner is a monthly report curated by the Association of Educational Service Agencies (AESA). It provides legislative monitoring, news articles, and related content gathered from our 50 states. The purpose of the monthly report is to ensure members are aware of the latest state-level education legislative policy, funding issues and trends, and state-level news that are impacting educational service agencies, their client schools, and districts. Each report also includes advocacy tips to activate and empower our members to be informed, effective education advocates.
