Cornerstone Co-Founders Ben Austin, Sandra Boyd, and Doannie Tran pen an op-ed in 74 Million about the launch of the National EduDemocracy Landscape Analysis. “Our goal is that by the 2030s, the nation should have a transformed educational election landscape, where innovations like expanding voting rights to 16-year-olds in school board elections, attaining school board turnouts as high as those for presidential elections and enshrining high-quality public education as a civil right are the norm, not the exception." https://lnkd.in/ghTSHiJ2

The Cornerstone Project?is proud to announce the launch of the?National EduDemocracy Landscape Map, a groundbreaking research initiative that brings explores high-impact democracy solutions and innovations from across all 50 states and Washington,D.C. in education races ("EduRaces") around the country. This potentially first-of-its-kind research synthesis highlights the crucial intersection of democracy and education and helps light a path forward for efforts at the local level to strengthen both sectors.?The project looks at ranked choice voting, aligned elections, legal rights to a quality education, students on school boards - and many more issues - across each state and showcases both bright spots and policies. With an eye to the future, the map is constantly changing thanks to feedback and perspective from leaders across the country that will continue to strengthen the ongoing analysis.
