Quality education is the foundation for a fulfilling life and a thriving community. It fuels innovation, prosperity and purpose.  \nToday, that foundation is under strain. The latest results from The Nation’s Report Card confirm that reading and math performance have dropped in nearly every state, with math scores seeing the largest declines in two decades.  \nSound education policy can change reverse those trend lines.  \nAt ExcelinEd, we believe bold, proven reforms are the most powerful tools leaders have to change lives. Across the nation, we’ve seen policymakers bolstering and reimagining their education systems by tackling literacy and math, expanding choice and career pathways, strengthening accountability and investing in teachers and leaders. These are not minor technical adjustments. They are commitments that ensure every child can succeed in school and in life.  \nConsider Indiana, where leaders recently redesigned high school through flexible career scholarship accounts and new diplomas aligned with workforce needs. Or Arkansas, where policymakers have transformed literacy, career pathways and school learning environments. Mississippi’s focus on reading mastery has turned the state into a national model for sustained student growth. And in Florida, the combination of accountability, choice and early literacy continues to drive results and inspire replication across the country.  \nThese states prove what is possible when policymakers align vision with courage—when leaders make hard choices, standing firm against inertia and putting students, not systems, at the center of their decision-making.  \nFor more than a decade, ExcelinEd has worked alongside state leaders to advance policies that expand opportunity and drive student success. Our 2026 Policy Playbook distills these lessons into core policy areas that provide a roadmap for transformational change.  \nI invite you to use this playbook as starting point for student-centered conversations in your state. It’s both a guide and a call to action. Together, we must commit to policies that open doors of opportunity, strengthen communities and build a brighter future for every student.  \nGovernor Jeb Bush Chairman, ExcelinEd  \n2026 POLICY PLAYBOOK | EXCELINED.
