2026 ECS National Forum
At a pivotal moment in education policy, the Education Commission of the States was created to ensure that states could work together, sharing evidence, exchanging ideas and addressing complex challenges without sacrificing state leadership, diversity or judgement.
That vision, established through the Compact for Education back in 1965, continues to be the north star for ECS’ work today.
The 2026 National Forum on Education Policy highlights The Compact Renewed, a forward-looking reaffirmation of ECS’ founding purpose: supporting partnership between political and professional leadership so states can lead confidently in an increasingly complex policy environment.
