For over two decades, Agron has shaped national conversations about school facilities through American School & University. His reporting focuses on three key areas:
Submissions must include district-level case studies with verifiable performance metrics. Avoid theoretical proposals without implementation data.
We've followed Joe Agron's influential 25-year tenure shaping education infrastructure discourse through his leadership at American School & University. Beginning as a specialist in facility reporting, Agron ascended to Editor-in-Chief/Associate Publisher while developing AS&U's reputation as the definitive source for education facility management insights. His work bridges policymaking and practical administration, most notably through congressional testimony that informed the Education Infrastructure Act of 1994.
This landmark series exposed systemic disparities in school infrastructure quality through comparative case studies of 12 districts. Agron's team documented how poor HVAC systems correlated with 14% lower test scores in Title I schools, leveraging this data to advocate for federal modernization grants. The methodology combined facility audits with academic performance metrics over five years, establishing a new evidence base for infrastructure advocacy.
Agron consistently emphasizes quantifiable facility outcomes - pitch energy efficiency solutions with verifiable cost savings per square foot rather than theoretical benefits. His 2020 analysis of solar panel ROI in Arizona schools demonstrates this preference for actionable metrics.
