Powerful message from Demetrius Knight Jr. on why he decided to play in the Citrus Bowl with Gamecock Football: "I have kids. I didn't want my daughter or son to ask me why I didn't play in the last game. I don't want to give them an excuse. If you start it, finish it."

"The continued declines in reading scores are particularly troubling... Reading is foundational to all subjects, and failure to read well keeps students from accessing information and building knowledge across content areas." - @govboard's Patrick Kelly abcnews.go.com/US/new-data-hi…

This piece nicely articulates significance of most recent NAEP, The Nation's Report Card release. NAEP has a unique capacity to serve as "truth teller," and the truth is our nation must lean in- not walk away- from the results. Ellen Weaver Rep.

Really enjoyed this chance to talk about NAEP, The Nation's Report Card. Before joining, The Governing Board, I didn’t have great understanding of how NAEP differs from other assessments, so I appreciated the chance to dig into differences and why they matter for American education. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/11-…

Our latest COMMENTARY comes from Patrick Kelly, a high school teacher and teachers' advocate with the Palmetto State Teachers Association... SC must address reasons why a diploma doesn’t guarantee success after high school scdailygazette.com/2025/05/28/sc-…

Governing Board member Patrick Kelly writes about the declining readiness of graduates for life beyond high school, despite rising graduation rates. The data has a story to tell. scdailygazette.com/2025/05/28/sc-…

A high school diploma should indicate readiness for employment, enrollment in higher education, or enlistment in the military- but increasingly, it often does not. I wrote this piece to examine some- but not all- of the steps necessary to ensure the value of a diploma.

Time to Pay Attention to Louisiana and the “Southern Surge” Coherence? Professionalism? High academic achievement? Gee, seems worth studying. Me, at ⁦Education Next⁩. educationnext.org/time-to-pay-at…

Really important and timely article highlighting the work behind strong academic growth on measures like NAEP, The Nation's Report Card in LA. I especially appreciate attention drawn to LA's "Let Teachers Teach" initiative as the type of common sense reform effort that elevates work of educators.
