of the States  \nINTRODUCTION:  \n2026  \nEmerging trends, policy shifts, and indicators shaping the American states in the year ahead  \nThe 2026 state legislative season is in full swing for 35 states, and there are emerging trends that impact Community Schools, family engagement, and related whole-child and youth development strategies. 46 governors are promoting one or more new education priorities, namely, workforce alignment and career and technical education (CTE), school funding, teacher pay, school choice, and cell phone bans.  \n*Note: Not all states have a legislative session in 2026  \n73%  \nGovernors Shared New Education Priorities  \nSTATE-LEVEL EDUCATION PRIORITIES:  \nGovernors continue to champion cradle-to-career strategies, with several states moving from the proposal to implementation stage on childcare, postsecondary access, and school funding reform. States like California, Colorado, Michigan, and New Mexico, now provide free preschool or pre-K, with Massachusetts and Kentucky exploring their own proposals to implement free early learning opportunities. Connecticut will launch universal free pre-K in 2027. Workforce development and CTE were the hottest topics, with 100% of governors discussing various achievements and priorities, while school funding reform remained a consistent priority—from Maryland’s $10 billion public school investment to Delaware and Vermont’s calls for needs-based funding formulas. Governors are also tying postsecondary access to workforce needs, with Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, and Colorado all expanding tuition-free community college. In Iowa, Indiana, Alabama, and Tennessee, school choice has moved from proposal to implementation, with their governors reporting that universal or near-universal ESA programs now serve students. Cell phone and social media restrictions are the defining bipartisan education action call of 2026, with 16 governors addressing the issue and 35 states having enacted limiting legislation.  \nSTATE OF THE STATES 2026 WWW. IEL.

This year, governors discussed the impact of their implemented plans, and their next steps for further expansion.  \nSchool Choice / Educational Savings Accounts / Vouchers  \nIn 2025, 20+ governors announced their plans for school choice initiatives or expansion. This year, 10 governors supportive of school choice shared their progress, called for expansion, or called for legislation to pass school choice programs.  \nFederal Funding Instability  \nThis year, multiple governors discussed the harmful impacts of frozen or rescinded federal funds on education and families, and pitched whole-child Initiatives including funding for food security, housing, and increasing investment in public schools.  \nUpcoming Midterm Elections: 39 Gubernatorial Seats  \nMany governors were reflective of their achievements as governor in this year’s State of the State addresses. In the 2026 Midterm elections, there will be 39 gubernatorial elections, with 18 incumbent Governors running for reelection and 21 governors who are term-limited or not seeking reelection.  \nSTATE OF THE STATES 2026 WWW.
