From the presidential election to local elections and ballot questions, the picture of public support for education is murky, leaving newly elected politicians with no clear roadmap for reform. Rotherham writes about the meaning of the election results in four key areas:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Standards for teachers and students<br \/>\n<\/strong>The biggest omen for the Obama Administration is, ironically, the defeat of a high-profile Republican, Indiana state schools superintendent Tony Bennett. He has been a quiet Obama ally, most notably in the fight to reform teacher evaluations and develop common academic standards in all 50 states. The latter effort didn\u2019t endear him to conservatives, and Bennett\u2019s Democratic opponent said she\u2019d pull the state out of the standards initiative. Bennett also angered teachers\u2019 unions with his blunt talk and his support for one of the toughest teacher-evaluation laws in the country. This left-right convergence led to Bennett\u2019s losing on the same night that a conservative Republican won the governorship, and that doesn\u2019t bode well for Obama\u2019s centrist approach to education reform. Or for that matter, for GOP leaders on these issues, including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who has championed many of the initiatives that got trounced on Tuesday night.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In other Republican-on-Republican violence, Idaho schools chief Tom Luna wasn\u2019t on the ballot, but all three of his big education-reform measures were roundly defeated by voters in this solidly red state. Luna, who is a Republican and also the president of the Council of Chief State School Officers, the national organization representing state education agencies, had pushed hard for initiatives that would have instituted merit pay for teachers, weakened collective bargaining and mandated more online education and use of laptops in public schools. All bombed at the ballot box, despite an influx of donations to support them from out-of-state donors including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Meanwhile, South Dakota voters rejected a new state law that would have incorporated test-score data into teacher evaluations, added merit pay and weakened teacher tenure. The bill had passed the state\u2019s legislature by just one vote, and defeating it was a top priority of teachers\u2019 unions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Unions didn\u2019t win everywhere, however. In Michigan, which Obama carried, voters rejected a measure that would have expanded collective-bargaining rights for teachers and other workers. Bottom line: Just as we saw in Wisconsin last year, organized labor is not viewed sympathetically by many voters from either party, but teachers\u2019 unions can still pack a punch when their back is against the wall. No one wants to be perceived as offending teachers. And that message won\u2019t be lost on state and local elected officials \u2014 who will all be on the ballot in the next few years \u2014 as they debate how much risk they\u2019re willing to take to carry out the President\u2019s agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Charter schools<br \/>\n<\/strong>Publicly funded charter schools were the night\u2019s big education winner, scoring two hard-fought victories on opposite sides of the country. In Georgia, after the state supreme court struck down a charter-school law as unconstitutional, reformers took their case directly to voters, who by a decisive 58% to 41% margin approved a modification to the state\u2019s constitution that will enable a special commission to authorize charter schools. In Washington, voters narrowly approved a referendum allowing the creation of charter schools, after rejecting similar initiatives in 1996, 2000 and 2004. Charter-school supporters like me see these wins as a sign that giving families more choices in education is no longer a question of if but of when and how.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <strong>Immigration reform<br \/>\n<\/strong>Maryland voters passed a state version of the controversial DREAM Act, granting in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants at public colleges and universities, provided they meet certain conditions. Long stalled in Congress, the measure sailed through on the ballot, with 59% of Maryland voters in favor of it and 41% opposed<a href=\"http:\/\/apps.washingtonpost.com\/data\/politics\/elections\/guide\/2012\/MD\/\">.<\/a> That lopsided result, along with the growing importance of Latino voters in national politics, should embolden skittish politicians elsewhere in the country to help Obama tackle the issue of comprehensive immigration reform.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Education spending<br \/>\n<\/strong>The other big issue, in addition to immigration reform, that the President will face early in his second term is the deficit. In California, the prospect of additional education budget cuts helped prompt voters to pass a temporary increase in sales and income taxes. Fiscally, California is running on fumes, but the difficulty of doing something about it previews the coming debate in Washington over balancing spending cuts and tax increases to get the federal budget under control.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The fiscal cliff will now dominate politics in Washington. But the real education story of the 2012 election is the fragility of the reform consensus and the high-wire act the President and Republican reformers have ahead of them.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/ideas.time.com\/2012\/11\/08\/viewpoint-the-election-has-compromised-education-reform\/#ixzz2BjV1jEto\">http:\/\/ideas.time.com\/2012\/11\/08\/viewpoint-the-election-has-compromised-education-reform\/#ixzz2BjV1jEto<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, Andrew Rotherham reflected in TIME magazine on the election results and their meaning for public education reform.
