Abstract	In 2018, the Network for Public Education and the Schott Foundation issued a report entitled "Grading the States." That report examined America's commitment to democracy by grading each state and the District of Columbia on the number of publicly-funded but privately-governed educational "choice" programs it had and whether those programs had sufficient safeguards to protect students' well-being and civil rights. Since then, the march to privatize one of our country's most precious institutions--our public schools--has continued. Indeed, it has intensified. The first step in stopping the privatization movement is to understand it. This report takes up where the 2018 report left off. Not only does this report grade the states based on their willingness to commit exclusively or primarily to democratically governed public schools open to all, but their willingness to put sufficient guardrails and limits on publicly-funded alternatives to ensure that taxpayers, students, and families are protected from discrimination, corruption and fraud in the programs they have.
