On this week’s podcast, Ron Rice, senior director of government relations at the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, joins Mike Petrilli and David Griffith to discuss the House’s recently passed spending bill that would cut charter school start-up grants, and could put all charter schools’ federal funding at risk. On the Research Minute, Amber Northern examines the substantial academic and professional benefits of participating in high school and college sports.

James J. Heckman and Colleen P. Loughlin, "Athletes Greatly Benefit from Participation in Sports at the College and Secondary Level," NBER Working Paper #29077 (July 2021).
