Dear Reader,

We’re thrilled to announce that with your support, we surpassed our May campaign goal and raised more than $17,000 to bolster our nationwide education reporting. Thank you to all the readers who contributed to our anniversary campaign.

As newsletter readers, you have a front seat to education reporting that drives meaningful change, spurring legislation, improving schools and inspiring readers to engage with their local communities. More good news: We just received record-breaking recognition for the reporting you support. The Hechinger Report won six awards from the Education Writers Association at its national conference (this adds to the 100+ other awards we’ve won over the past 15 years!)

Our team won for an investigation into school discipline ([link removed]) , a story on a superintendent who was shown the door after making big gains with English learners ([link removed]) , and our podcast with GBH, College Uncovered ([link removed]) . Our video and print coverage ([link removed]) of the ripple effects ([link removed]) from the fall ([link removed]) of affirmative action won two awards. Jackie Mader also received a beat reporting award for her nuanced and probing narrative and investigative work in early education.

The education beat is more urgent than ever before, with a new administration pushing for seismic changes to many aspects of teaching and learning. We are meeting the moment with hard-hitting stories, opinion pieces and our constantly updated Trump Tracker. ([link removed])

Thank you for believing in and supporting not-for-profit education journalism. If you didn’t get a chance to help during our campaign, you can still contribute ([link removed]) to bolstering our journalism.

With gratitude,
Liz Willen Liz Willen
