Event study plot showing weekly estimates of the attendance gap between foreign-born and U.S.-born students. The x-axis spans 20 weeks before and after inauguration. Pre-inauguration estimates cluster around zero with no clear trend. Post-inauguration estimates shift upward to approximately 2-3 percentage points and remain persistently elevated through the end of the school year, with no sign of attenuation.

Line graph showing monthly absence rates for the 2024-25 school year. Two lines track students born inside vs. outside the U.S. from September through May. Both groups follow similar patterns through the fall, but diverge sharply at a vertical dashed line marking the January 20th inauguration. After that point, foreign-born students' absence rates remain elevated while U.S.-born rates decline as expected, eliminating the pre-inauguration gap.

Enrollment of multilingual learners over time in Rhode Island. This figure demonstrates a strong positive trend with RI schools gaining ~1,000-2,000 MLLs per year in recent years except for a decline in 2020-21 and a basically flat number of MLLs between 2024-25 and 2025-26 (+42 students).
Historical enrollments for Rhode Island schools. While enrollments have been decreasing since 2020-21, the decrease in 2025-26 (1.6% or ~2,000 students) was larger than any year since 2012-13 except for the well documented COVID-related enrollment declines in 2020-21 (3% or ~4,000 students)

Quote from a superintendent in a four-day school week district: "Our thinking was, well what's best for kids? If we're losing good teachers, what can we do to keep good teachers? We can't pay $10,000 a year more."
