The seam nobody was watching.
A whole field measures what families do with portable school funding. Almost no one measures what the institutions that prepare educators do about it. That is the work here.
Now0 of 5 major school-choice research groups track how teacher-prep institutions respond.
Who measures what
Strong organizations cover the family side and the policy side. The educator side is open.
Three lists, one question
Florida comes first. Two national lists show whether the pattern holds where universities are richest and most inventive.

How the work stays honest
Verified examples only
No dated primary source, no claim. The records are the argument.
Absence is drawn
"Searched, none found" and "not yet checked" are different findings. Both are shown.
Follow the data
Findings are written so a supporter and a skeptic of school choice can cite the same row.
Corrections in the open
What was wrong, what is right, and what it changes. Permanent.
Independent and unaffiliated. Not housed in a university or an advocacy organization. Accepts no funding conditioned on a conclusion. Current disclosures: none.
If a row about your institution is wrong, that is the most useful message you can send.
